Coffee Rota - if anyone would like to volunteer for the Coffee Rota, please speak to Arthur. As a result of many requests, we decided to open it up to anyone who wanted to help. It involves putting the cups and saucers out and getting the coffee machine ready for action, and being in church by 10.00am to make sure all is in place. We all need to share the 'behind the scenes' jobs as well as the 'up front' ones which might not be as fun, but it all needs doing. Holidays - I know it's now holiday season, and many people are away. This is a time for making sure we are in church as much as possible to support each other, and all the many visitors we get. Please make every effort to come, not just on a Sunday, which is the high point of our worshipping week, but also during the mass. There are many churches that do not have weekday services, we are very fortunate here. I don't want to 'pressgang' people into coming, because that is not what I believe God wants in our life of worship, but please think about attending. You never know, you might like it! Bereavement Group Kindred Spirits – Will be closed until the end of August. Good News Magazine – available today from Vera Butler, no set price but any donation goes towards the ACS who generously support this Church. Parish Pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal. 9-16 May 2011. We are planning a trip to Our Lady's Shrine in Fatima. This is a wonderful pilgrimage, which I have been on a few years ago. We have about 9 people who want to go already, so please speak to me about it after mass. Sheila will be arranging a savings book so you can save weekly. A deposit of £50 is needed to secure a place. Father Philip’s institution as vicar of Saint Marks will take place during the 12 noon mass on Thursday July 15th. If you would like to go along it would be good to see you. There will be refreshments afterwards. Sunday School – will be closing during the summer holidays but craft sessions will be run instead. If you are willing to help out at one of these craft sessions during a Sunday Mass then please have a word with Gill Richardson. CJM will be returning to Saint Mark's on Saturday 24th July 7.30pm for a concert. Tickets £7.50 from Keith Airey Here at St Luke's, we are very fortunate to have mass said each and every day in this parish, the source of prayer and meditation which keeps churches lively and healthy. Please make coming to mass one day in the week a priority. I would also like to remind all PCC members that this is an essential part of your commitment to St Luke's as a church officer. I know sometimes it is not possible to get to church midweek, but please make an effort. Prayer and the Eucharist are at the centre of our spiritual life here, Please don't leave it to others to do the day to day work.

Please keep all unnecessary noise down in church and remember your conversation before Mass will spoil somebody’s prayerful devotions. Speak to God first and to each other after Mass. Say it with flowers – We are always looking for sponsorship for flowers on a Sunday. On the contact table there is a list and if you would like flowers dedicated in memory of anything or anyone then place money in an envelope and hand this to one of the wardens or the clergy. Warning – In the event of a fire an alarm will sound. Please evacuate the building by the nearest exit (the original main entrance at the right side of the altar presents difficulties for those with mobility problems. Plenty of room on top – There are spare seats in the balcony. Please do consider using these and leaving downstairs for people with physical difficulties.
