Prayers for the Sick and Housebound     If anyone wishes me to add a name of someone to our list situated in front of the Lady Altar, and being placed in front of the Blessed Sacrament on Wednesday please send their name to Fr Andrew.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament     If you wish to give an hour to prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament, or if you could give an hour once in a while to cover someone's hour who is not able to do so on a given week then please contact Heather McCelland on  92462518.  Even if you have not put your name down do pop in to pray.

A Course in Christian Leadership  is being offered among all the Christian Communities,it will start in September and will run for 7 months, aday to talk through the course will be on 6th. June. There is space for four people from each community In talking and sharing as Ministers of the Island we felt offering and running a course like this would strengthen our communities and help each of us our ministry as nearly all of us are not full time Ministers here on the Island. If anyone might be interested in such a course, please see me-it is very good, very scriptural and really focuses on Jesus' calling to follow Him: true Christian Vocation.

 Do let me know what you feel re the temporary Sanctuary changes. I put a sheet of A4 together which is still available at the church door, on the discussion I had with Canon Alan Griffiths the Diocesan Liturgist it is to help us consider what we might do within the Sanctuary and church at this time. I met with Sue Masser, an architect form Winchester on Wednesday and she will send her thoughts to us in about a months time.  Fr Andrew
