When you are in need of prayer, for yourself or for someone else who has given you permission to do so, please phone Carol or Jan . The Mothers’ Union at St Antony’s has a Prayer Circle – all are contacted and all pray.
We pray today for Cecil and Janet Heatley as we have recently heard that their daughter Catherine died on 9 June
We continue to pray for the land of Zimbabwe;
Bless its people in the struggles of their daily life.
Give wisdom to the bishops and clergy
as they lead the Church.
Help those in positions of authority to seek the common good
so that there may be freedom from fear and violence,
justice in the life of the nation
and a return to peace and prosperity. Amen.

IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN A PUB QUIZ?
I have recently established a friendship with Mark and Emma the proprietors at the Good Companions in Hamsey Green and have found them both very sociable. Every Tuesday from 8.00 pm they have a general knowledge quiz night which they are trying to grow. It’s a very relaxed and informal evening and more of a social thing than a serious full on quiz. They currently have around 25 to 30 people involved and its slowly growing. It costs £1.50 per person. It is a great way to mix with local people and develop relationships in a low key way, plus it’s a bit of fun too! So, is anyone interested in joining me in making up a team? I won’t necessarily be able to commit to being available every week, although I would hope to be able drop in for last orders! Contact Andrew Watson on 020 3252 2045 or andrew.email@btopenworld.com for more details. (Please note I am on leave from Sat 4th to 18th September but do drop me a mail and I’ll get back to you on my return)
