Conversion of St Paul
Collect: Almighty God, who caused the light of the gospel to shine throughout the world through the preaching of your servant Saint Paul:

Post Communion Prayer: Almighty God, who on the day of Pentecost
sent your Holy Spirit to the apostles with the wind from heaven and in tongues of flame, filling them with joy and boldness to preach the gospel:
by the power of the same Spirit strengthen us to witness to your truth and to draw everyone to the fire of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

BISHOP HUMPHREY

Christ Church: As most of you know Bishop Humphrey (Bishop of Repton) is leaving the diocese to become Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon (an Oxford theological college). He will be greatly missed in the diocese, particularly at Christ Church where many are grateful for his support during the interregnum of 2009. The PCC has agreed to give £50 towards a farewell gift but felt that individuals may also like to give something to mark his departure. Please give any donations to the Vicar or Sue Makin (Treasurer).
