Ascension Day: This coming Thursday at 10.00 am we will celebrate the festival of our Lord’s ascension. It marks forty days after Jesus’ resurrection, during which time he appeared to more than 500 people. It also marks the beginning of ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ which runs from 29th May until Pentecost on the 8th June. This ecumenical prayer initiative invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus and is now in its 10th year. Every person, household and church are encouraged to pray during the 11 days in their own way. This year we will have prayer stations in St Nic’s to encourage and enable us to use creative ways of praying for God’s Kingdom to come on earth. We’ll say more about the stations at the Ascension Day Eucharist.
Fleetwood Foodbank: For 15 years, the foodbank has supported our town’s most vulnerable. Recently demand has surged — in April alone, 681 people were helped, including 117 children — and as a result of increased need the Foodbank is struggling to keep up. Rising costs mean it’s had to reduce the amount and variety of food given out. Though generous donations have been received, expenses now far exceed income. Without increased support, the foodbank risks shutting down by the end of the year. The Pantry is therefore asking 400 people to commit to a standing order of just £10 a month. This would provide a steady £4,000 monthly and will help in planning and responding quickly and more effectively. If you feel able to commit to a regular gift of £10 there are some standing orders available at the back of church, which include a gift aid section. For those of us who pay tax, it increases our gift by 25% at no additional cost to us. Please consider signing up and perhaps invite a friend who doesn’t attend church to do the same. Together, we can ensure no one in our town goes hungry.
Please also remember in your prayers: Martyn Westby, Brian Brown, Louise Gorley, Mark Price, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Chris Kelsall, Tracey Ashworth, Philip Wayman, Joanne Mallin, Harvey and Chris Cousins. We also remember the families of Janice Porter, Heather Barker, Rob Williams and Brian Perkes whose funerals are due to take place.
