Almighty and everlasting God,
increase in us your gift of faith
that, forsaking what lies behind
and reaching out to that which is before,
we may run the way of your commandments
and win the crown of everlasting joy;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
POST COMMUNION PRAYER
We praise and thank you, O Christ, for this sacred feast:
for here we receive you,
here the memory of your passion is renewed,
here our minds are filled with grace,
and here a pledge of future glory is given,
when we shall feast at that table where you reign
with all your saints for ever.

There is a vacancy for a Governor at St James' Primary
School. The role of the Governing Body is to work with the

I have arranged at the Black horse pub on Gregson Lane next to
Trinity Methodist. These past events have been well supported
from the villages and local churches. My job since the last event
has changed and I work evenings. I was wondering if any of the
local churches in the area would like to arrange a venue in their
local area. It could be a church hall pub village hall outside etc. It
would be good if another church community could arrange a venue
so visiting another part of the local area. To obtain more
information look at the website and you need to register. It’s a
good idea to provide mince pies etc. If you feel that there is a
church member or small group who would like to organise a venue
and they would like to know more they can contact me on 01254
852108 or email [email protected]
