Notices 

Coventry Night Shelter.…please be praying for this venture, for safety and strength for all involved in running it and for God to bless the guests who will be benefitting from it. Please pray that God’s love is made known, and also that the guests are able to make real progress in getting off the streets permanently. There are also likely to be other overheads so any monetary donations would be welcomed if that is how you feel called to respond. If you can possibly help, the more volunteers we have, the less often each person needs to volunteer. The actual weekly rota will be being done locally by Elke. 

Love Your Church - The church will be open every Saturday from 10am-12noon for cleaning, tidying, fixing, moving, sorting, trimming, planting, painting, bonding, helping, doing, watching, organising, teamworking, decorating and building. Please feel free to drop in and “love your church”.  

New Flower Rota 2015 – If you would like to donate flowers in Memory or for an occasion please fill in the details on the Rota on the table at rear of Church. 

Charity Collections - Please remember to bring & put in drawers at rear of church: 
• used stamps for the Leprosy Mission. 
• milk bottle tops for Myton Hospice 
• ring pulls from cans for the Philippine Community Fund. 
• The Coventry Foodbank contents are taken each week to the Hope Centre in Hillfields. New Shopping Lists are available to help you 
• Coins to put in our I Hate Coppers bottle as we support Canon Andrew White and the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East at St.George's Church, Baghdad, Iraq. 
• Individual collection boxes for The Children’s Society. Please see Janice 

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 times 
• For all those using our building 
• For God's blessing upon the church members and the local community. 
• We pray for encouragement for all those who work in the cathedral and diocesan offices, and give thanks for all their work and ministry. 
• We pray for farmers and all those who look after your creation. We particularly pray that the crops planted will yield a good harvest and provide enough food for all.

Colin O’Shea; Les Cave; Steve Brooker; J R Lindsey; Marlene; Florizel Anderson; Canon Andrew White; Gill Wiles; Albert Hagan 

We remember those who have died – especially Phil Smith; we pray for family and friends and all who mourn. 

Prayer for Today 
Heavenly Father, at the Jordan you revealed Jesus as your Son: may we recognise him as our Lord and know ourselves to be your beloved children; through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
