Parking Permits: ' The Council is currently reviewing a number of residents' parking schemes across the city including the Charterhouse Scheme........ the Council has decided not to issue new parking permits to residents at this stage. Instead you should continue to display your old parking permit that is dated 30th November 2013. Any vehicle that is parked in the Charterhouse area that is displaying a permit dated 30th November 2013 will not be issued with a parking ticket for displaying an expired permit.'

Charity Collections - Please remember to bring:

• used stamps to put in the basket for the Leprosy Mission.
• milk bottle tops for Myton Hospice
• ring pulls from cans for the Philippine Community Fund. 
• The Coventry Foodbank box is at the back of church and its contents are taken each week to the Hope Centre in Hillfields. New Shopping Lists are available to help you remember what they need.

Please pray for: 
• the peace of the whole world, for the welfare of the Holy Church of God, and for the unity of all.
• The Global economies at this difficult time
• all those using our building
• As we praise God for Christ the King! We pray for Bishop Christopher as he preaches at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Church, Berlin (a Cross of Nails partner) in a service that commemorates the 70th anniversary of the destruction of the Church
• all those who are facing a difficult financial time in the lead up to Christmas. We ask that other non-money-focused ways of celebrating Christmas might feel possible and desired amongst friends and families. We pray that the good news of Jesus would shine most brightly in these weeks
Saturday - as we give thanks for the example of faith and obedience we see in Andrew the Apostle. God help us as we seek to follow you. We pray for all clergy and lay leaders preparing to begin the season of advent on Sunday. May they know the strength and inspiration of God in all that they do.

Pray for those in special need at this time and those recovering from illness: 
Tracey Griffiths; Phil Smith; Susan McMillan; Colin O’Shea; Steve Brooker; Simon Helberg; Emma Smith; Fred Wiles; Veronica Martin; J R Lindsey

Prayer for Today 
God the Father, help us to hear the call of Christ the King and to follow in his service, whose kingdom has no end; for he reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, one glory. Amen.
