Christian Aid Week A big THANK YOU! Together we have raised £410.60; this will increase to £466.53 when Gift Aided. This was raised by a collection at Lytham Church of England Primary School; a fabulous Big Breakfast organised by Julie Webb; and a collection from St Cuthbert's congregation. A really great effort from all those involved, thank you. Michael Dearnley
I’m sure that many of you will wish Jane well in her new vocation after seven years of loyal service to the administrative department here at St Cuthbert’s. I invite you to consider giving towards a leaving gift - please see Beryl or Colin with your contribution. Today is the final Sunday on which contributions can be received; the presentation will take place on Sunday next, 3rd July, at the 10.00am Eucharist. Colin Ballard, Churchwarden
Following the vicar's sermon on service three weeks ago, one person has shown some interest in serving at the altar. If you too have been encouraged to think about your contribution to the work of the church, can I invite you to come and sit quietly in the choir stalls one Sunday morning (with no obligation/browsers welcome) and watch at close hand what is involved. The time involvement can be as little as you wish (once a month/once every two months?) at either 8.30 or 10.00am. Supporting the clergy in this way can be very rewarding. Please give it some thought and prayer. Clive Barnes
Can you help? We need people to provide cakes - either home made or shop bought - for Sunday mornings. If you can help, please give your details to Tracy Dearnley after the service.
The winner of the QUIZ FOR JUNE: Colours was Sarah Mayland.
Thank you all for looking after me so wonderfully in the Parish Office over the last seven years. I will miss you terribly, but I will be now be able to get more involved in church life, so I will definitely see you around! Jane x
