For this week……
If you have been in touch with one of our members who doesn’t join us on Zoom can you write their name on a piece of paper, please.
Pre- service questions to think about (and maybe even draw pictures of):
‘Where are you finding fullness of life just now? OR… what are you recognising is fullness of life for you’… it may be in the things you are intensely missing as well as the things you are coming to appreciate.
And, ‘How do you feel about doors?’
It might help to have a Bible ready at John 10. 1-10 and Acts 2.42-47, and a cup of coffee to hand!

Christian Aid week
This year we are having a virtual CA week. It will be the focus of our service on 10 May. We will also host a quiz on Zoom on Weds 13 May at 7.30pm. Ask friends to form a team and we’ll ask each team to donate to CA. Fuller details to follow.
Maureen on Furlough
We have had to make the difficult decision to put Maureen on furlough. This means that she isn’t allowed to ‘work’. Emails to the ‘office’ account will be dealt with but inevitably not as swiftly. It’s fine for you to keep in touch with her if you have her personal contacts but just not in a work capacity.
Keeping up
Pip & Sara are happy to receive calls or messages about people who are unwell or in need. All our contact details are on the website if you don’t already have them saved.
Foodbank
If you would like to drop stuff off at the Vicarage that is fine. Alternatively, lots of the supermarkets have a place to drop donations when you shop. The Foodbanks are working collaboratively so it is all effective.
Lastly
Several folk who use the envelope scheme have been asking about how they can give whilst we are not meeting. You can pay it direct into the bank using

Christ Church Pitsmoor
If you are a taxpayer who utilises gift-aid our preferred method for you is the Parish Giving Scheme; they have now got a telephone sign-up system in place. Details can be provided, just email office@pitsmoor.church with ‘PGS sign-up’ as the subject.
