Sunday 28 July: Sunday with a Difference!
Earlier this year we had a number of sermons on Welcome and Hospitality. It was suggested by some in our congregations we should all visit another church where no one knows us to see what hospitality was offered. Sunday 28 July is that Sunday! There will be no services in Horsford Benefice so we all have an opportunity to worship at another church and bring back our experiences to talk about the following Sunday. For those who might not get to a communion service and would like communion that Sunday, Margaret will take a said service at Felthorpe. Please talk to Margaret, Richard or Revd. Wendy if you have any questions.

Last week Margaret announced that Stuart has been recommended for training to start in August 2020 subject to the satisfactory completion of some theological reading, and project on Mission and Evangelism. This will involve a project based in Horsford focusing on the welcome to new residents in the new housing being built through information about the church working with a team of up to 4 others over the next 4 months. This directly links to our Welcome element of our Mission Strategy. Stuart will also learn about mission and evangelism by visiting other churches to observe and ask what they do and in the New Year be away on placement learning about mission in a different context. Then he will be writing it all up! This is a busy and focused time for him which means he will not be involved in leading any element of worship, except All Age Worship, during this time. Please continue to pray for him and the family over the coming months.

Calling all knitters for the Posada
Last year a number of you knitted some characters for the Posada (Mary and Joseph travelling to Bethlehem) which were used in Horsford Primary School. We would love more characters and animals to be ready for the start of December as the children were enthralled and brought Mary and Joseph to church to join Jesus, a Shepherd, a King and some sheep. If you are interested please contact Margaret and she can give you a pattern.
