As you all will have, hopefully, noticed, we have new mugs in church.We have quite a number more than we need for church use so that we could give everyone an opportunity to buy their own to take home.
We are asking for £3 per mug which will buy you one mug but also will pay for one for church, if you buy 6 you can have them for £15.
If you're interested please talk to Roger or Kate.

Greetings from sunny Spain!
Dear Friends
I just wanted to say thanks so much for a great "send off" weekend that you all organised for Ranee and me - and for the wonderful gifts!
We were both thrilled and touched by every aspect of that wonderful weekend which is indelibly etched on my memory (helped by the videos you recorded for us!). We really appreciate all the planning and effort and teamwork that went into such a successful event. And for all or you who turned up to support us!
I have to say I was anticipating the weekend with very mixed emotions, and wondered how I would feel - but all I can see is that we both had a fantastic time, and were very humbled by all the love and affection shown to us, as well as all the kind words.
Thank you all so much, and for all your love and support over the years. Such love and community is not easily replaced.
We are relaxing in Spain for a couple of weeks before attempting the mammoth task of clearing out the Vicarage after 29 years junk accumulation!
No doubt I will see quite a few of you in the coming weeks - and of course we will only be living 1/2 mile a way in Walkley, so not moving very far! So you may well see us around.
Once again I want to say what a privilege it has been to serve St Tims for such a length of time and what a joy to see the church become such an amazing strong community, with a passion to serve God and see his Kingdom grow. I will continue to pray for you all, and for John as overall leader; praying particularly that 2017 will be an important year for St Tim's moving towards our 2020 Vision - which I am sure God has prepared us for, and wants us to achieve, by his grace, in his power, though prayer - to his Eternal Glory.
God bless, Phil
