Children At Leicester ‘K’athedral
We warmly welcome our children today. CHALK meets in in the Old Song School, in
the Cathedral. We ask that children who regularly attend are brought by their
parents/carer just before the start of the 10.30 service. There will be an extra
opportunity for visiting children to join them early in the service when the Celebrant
indicates. There is a play/books area for supervised small children in the Old Song
School too. The children will return to their parents/carers either before or after the
Eucharistic prayer. For those who do not wish to attend CHALK a supply of books,
crayons and soft toys are available from the sidespeople. Please return these at the
end of the service. For any further assistance, please ask members of the Welcome
Team.

Sunday Evening Eucharist at St Nicholas, St Nicholas Circle
As well as serving the regular congregation of St Nicholas, this Eucharist offers an
opportunity for those who are unable to make their Communion on a Sunday
morning to do so in the evening. It is celebrated every Sunday at 6.30pm,
sometimes with music by the St Nicholas Singers. St Nicholas is a member of the
Inclusive Church Network.

Alf Bateman
It is with great sadness that we heard of the death of Alf Bateman earlier this week.
Alf died at home on Easter Sunday. Alf was Head Verger at the Cathedral during the
1990s and was still a familiar face until just a few years ago as he was kind enough to
cover for holidays in the verger department on many occasions. I’m sure that many
will remember his helpfulness, commitment and willingness to talk. He was a regular
supporter of the local Church of England Guild of Vergers meetings. His wife Betty
and family invite all who wish, to attend the funeral service which will be held on
Thursday 16 April at 3.00pm, at the Church of the Martyrs on Westcotes Drive,
Leicester.

internet at www.kingrichardinleicester.com/shop. They come as a set of three,

and there is a £2.50 postage and packaging charge per set for them to be sent via the
post.
Community Committee Elections May 2015
The Community Committee exists to support the Bishop, the Dean and Chapter in
offering a warm welcome and hospitality to all who visit; providing a place of
community, learning, contemplation and quiet reflection. In recent years, this has also
meant providing support for an increasing number of activities as well as fundraising.
One way you can help the Cathedral continue to develop is in getting yourself
elected to the Community Committee up to 2018 at the Annual Community
Meeting after the 10.30am Eucharist on Sunday 3 May. Nomination forms are
available from David Dewdney, Jane Black or one of the vergers. If you would like to
talk further about the work of the Community Committee or standing for election,
please contact David Dewdney on 0790 1970 557. Please note that you must be on
the Cathedral Community Roll to stand for election.
David Dewdney, Chair, Community Committee

Announcement from Canon Barry Naylor
I will be reaching the age of 65 this year and have decided to retire on 30 September.
I have written to the Bishop informing him of this and he has accepted. I have been
Urban Canon since 2002 and have greatly enjoyed, and been fulfilled by, these years
of ministry in the city centre – both blessings and challenges. Thank you for your
support and friendship during these years. There will, of course, be opportunities for
more to be said as the day draws closer. My final services will be at the Cathedral on
Sunday 27 September.
Canon Barry Naylor
Hearing Loop System
Our new PA system is now up and running and we are beginning to learn how to
best make use of it. For those who wear a hearing aid, we now have the facility to
provide sound via a loop system. As an interim measure for the next few years until a
permanent loop can be installed in the floor, we are able to provide an individual loop
for those who require it; in the form of a belt pack. If you require a pack please see a
steward at the door who will fit you up and show you how to use it. Please don’t
forget to return the unit at the end of the service.
A Prayer for the Process of Choosing a New Bishop of Leicester
Loving God,
in whose hand we are shaped and moulded,
raise up your church in this place, we pray,
and all who serve the Diocese of Leicester.
Anoint your people for service
as you call another to be their Bishop.
Pour out richly your gifts of unity and fellowship,
that we may glorify your name,
grow deeper in your love
and see your kingdom come.
Amen.

Cathedral Parking on Sunday
We have recently reviewed the costs associated with the New Street car park that is
available to members of the congregation on Sunday mornings. Unfortunately the
amount collected does not cover the cost to the Cathedral and we have therefore
revised the weekly payment to £3.00 per vehicle. With this in mind, we are also
introducing a three month pre-paid ticket to the car park. The period will start on 1
April 2015 and run through to 30 June 2015. The cost of the pre-paid card is £30,
which brings the cost of parking each Sunday down to £2.50 per vehicle. To purchase
a ticket, please make your cheque payable to “Leicester Cathedral” and send to Gillian
Aird, Cathedral Admin Office, St Martins House, 7 Peacock Lane, Leicester, LE1 5PZ.
For those wishing to “pay on the day” there will still be a facility to do this, however
at the end of June, the situation will be reviewed and a decision on the financial
viability of the car park will be made.
Your Diocese and Cathedral bookshop, in St Martins House, right next door.
We sell Cathedral gifts and memorabilia, as well as books for children and adults,
Bibles, greetings cards, Sunday school resources, CDs and DVDs, and other gifts.
Call in and see us. Our friendly staff can, if you wish, help you with your purchase.
We're open from 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday, Saturdays 9.30am till 4.30pm,

Leicester Cathedral Walking Group – On the Trail of Richard III
As Richard III is featuring so prominently in the Cathedral’s calendar, it is fitting that
the Walking Group should visit other churches that have a connection to our long
lost King.
We will therefore start our 2015 season of walks with a visit to the church of St
Margaret of Antioch at Stoke Golding where, if possible, our friend Revd Hilary
Surridge might be tempted to be our guide.
Visit 1/15 – Saturday 18 April 2014 – St Margaret of Antioch, Stoke Golding
The first visit and walk of the 2015 season for the Cathedral Walking Group will be
to St Margaret of Antioch at Stoke Golding on Saturday 18 April 2015. The visit
will follow our established pattern of lunch at a nearby hostelry, The George and
Dragon, Station Road, Stoke Golding, CV13 6EZ arriving at 12.00pm for lunch at
12.30pm. After lunch we will visit St Margaret’s Church at 1.30pm and then enjoy a
short walk lasting about one and a half hour, through the surrounding countryside.
To enable the pub to provide our lunches at 12.30pm we have been asked to preselect our food from their lunchtime menu, copy available from Mick McQuade.
If you would like to join the Cathedral Walking Group please note the date in your
diary and book in with Mick McQuade. The programme of walks for the 2015
season is shown below. The dates and destinations have yet to be confirmed and the
order may change depending upon access to the various churches and to avoiding
weddings.

Water Issues and Living Conditions in Bethlehem
A talk by
Zoughbi Zoughbi
(Wi’am Palestinian Conflict Resolution Centre,
Bethlehem)
Monday April 13th 2015
7-9pm
Christchurch, 105A Clarendon Park Road
Leicester LE2 3AD
Christians Aware are delighted to host a further visit to Leicester of Zoughbi Zoughbi, the Founder
and Director of WI’AM, The Palestinian Conflict Resolution Centre in Bethlehem (Wi’am in Arabic
means ‘cordial relationships’). Since 1994, Zoughbi has worked tirelessly to run programmes to
bring Palestinians and Israelis together to get to know each other. This vital work has largely
stopped since the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000, but he continues his work in civic
education and dispute resolution in Palestine and promoting the cause of peace with justice in the
Holy Land. Zoughbi is not against the existence of the State of Israel, but he is against the
Occupation. “We have only one option -for Palestinians and Israelis to live together”.
