Just over a week after Ryan, All Saints' Church saw Clara Charlotte James Christened. An absolutely delightful little girl whose constant smiles stole the hearts of the whole congregation (her mother claimed that she is not always like that - but we have the photographs to prove otherwise!). Supported by friends and what is clearly a truly loving family, it proved a very special day for a very special person. Please include Clara Charlotte in your prayers, that God blesses her, that the peace and love shown to her today never ends, and that she may always be supported by the prayers of us all.

We are asking God to guide us on our journey in developing our Benefice.
Please pray for:
- our benefice, our individual churches, PCCs and the Team Council.
- that God shares with us the journey he has mapped out for our Benefice.
- that He shows us the way forward in identifying what we need from a new priest.
- that God continues to heal the hurt we feel from the past.
- that God helps to build a vision of a One Church Family across our many Parishes.

We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing.
