NOTICES . . . 1. We will be decorating the church for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee on Friday 1st June from 2.30 pm. Everyone is welcome to come and help to set up displays and flowers in red, white and blue. Don’t forget to let us have your memorabilia to put on show. Gifts of flowers and greenery or donations towards the cost will be most gratefully received. The church will be open to visitors during the Jubilee weekend, a real opportunity for outreach into the community. Thank you. Elizabeth Moran. 2. Tickets are on sale until next Saturday (26th May) for the Hog Roast on 3rd June. These are £7.50 per person (£4.00 for children under 12) and are available from Pam Thorpe or Jean Wallace. 3. The CMS Summer Meeting is on Monday 11th June, 7.00 pm for 7.30 pm at the Tithe Barn, Nether Poppleton. There will be a Bring & Share Supper after which Barbara Shaw will speak on ‘21st Century Technology in Mission’, with special reference to the situation in Iran where she is involved with a radio channel. There will be a charge of £2 to cover costs. Further information and possible lifts from Margaret Carden. 4. On Wednesday 13th June 7.30 pm at St Nicholas’ Church Hall there will be an evening with Rev Philip Cousins, the local area rep for USPG Anglicans in World Mission. Both churches support USPG in our tithing and this is an opportunity to hear about how that money is being used; and to hold them to account. At the World Concerns Group we have investigated targeting our future donations to their strengthening communities programme, in the hope that we get more regular feedback in the future. There will be light refreshments and the evening will end with the service of Compline. 5. Does anyone know where the long-armed stapler is, please? It has been missing for a while and I urgently need it for stapling our special Jubilee edition of “Talkabout”. If you have it or know where it is, please let me know asap. Thank you. Elizabeth Baker.
