Installation Service 20th
July
A huge thank you to everyone
who helped to make Miranda's
installation service on
Tuesday such a success. There
was a lot of activity behind
the scenes as well as more
visibly, so to all those who
cleaned the church, arranged
flowers, put out chairs, rang
the bells, prepared food,
welcomed guests, read, sang,
played the organ or washed up
thank you for making it such
a joyous and memorable
evening.

For
those of you who know Jim
& Thora Stuart,
their son and his wife have
now moved to Germany and I'm
sure Jim and Thora would
appreciate a visit.
They're in Tasker House in
Wellingborough and if you'd
like to get in touch with me
I can pass on Jim's phone
number.

Superheroes Holiday Club 23rd
– 27th August
We had a spectacular briefing
session the other evening and
are all looking forward to
holiday club week.
Please keep all those
involved in your
prayers.
Also, could you save some
bits and pieces for our craft
activities? We're
looking for newspapers;
cardboard boxes; plastic
bottle tops; egg boxes;
lollipop sticks; straws;
foil; kitchen roll inners;
cotton reels etc. In
fact anything for junk
modelling - but it must
be clean please! Please
start saving and bring
along to church on Sundays
15th
and 22nd
August. Many
thanks. Sue Suter
All Bears @ All Saints - can
you help please?
All Bears @ All Saints is a
church support group for
pre-schoolers and their
carers and is open to
all. We meet on the 2nd
and 4th Thursdays of every
month and would really
appreciate some
help serving refreshments
in the hall for
about an hour from 2.45 -
3.45 pm. It would free
up the pastoral team to talk
more to the carers and their
children. If you think
you might be able to come
along, even occasionally,
please speak to Sue, Valerie
or Kathy.
All Bears @ the Giant Boot
Sale
We’re planning to have a
stall alongside Traidcraft in
the Parish Church Hall on
Saturday
11th
September selling children’s
clothes, toys, books,
equipment etc. Do you
(or anyone you
know?) have any items
that you don’t need any
longer that you could donate
please? Also, could
anyone lend us one of those
collapsible hanging rails. If
you can help please bring
items along to the Parish
Church Hall on Saturday
14th
August from 10 – 11 a.m. or
Friday 27th
August from 9 – 11 a.m.
And thank you!
Specs for Developing
Countries
Don't forget that your old
specs and sunglasses can be
recycled as The Lions send
them to those in need in the
developing countries.
There's a box for your specs
and sunglasses at the back of
the church - please no cases
and no broken specs.
Thank you!
Choir
Notice
The choir is now officially
on holiday
until September
7th. However, any
choir member is welcome
to join me in the chancel for
services in August when
not relaxing on a beach
somewhere. Please
don't forget the
weddings though: August
7th at 2pm, August 21st at
3pm and August 28th at
1pm. All couples have
requested the support of the
choir.
There are two
weddings on September
4th
also! Marion
Welch
MANY
THANKS
for all the Sainsbury's
Active Kids vouchers that
have been donated to the 1st
Earls Barton Brownies.
We have to put our order in
very soon and the girls have
decided they would like a
Street Cheer session (a cross
between cheerleading and
street dance!), plus some new
long skipping ropes, bean
bags, balls and other general
sports equipment. If
the Street Cheer session is a
success, I'm sure you will
see us (although possibly NOT
the leaders!) performing at
next year's Carnival!
Thank you
again.Catherine

Earls Barton
Brownies)
Lay
Pastoral Ministers
Please
don't forget that Gill, Sue,
Carol and Valerie are
available if required for
help, support or
encouragement particularly
during the interregnum.
It would be helpful to be
told if our church members
are ill, in hospital or in
difficulties. Gill
