A warm welcome to you on this Second Sunday after Trinity. Please do join us after the service to share in a cup of tea or coffee. All ages are welcome at St. Mary’s, children included. There is also a crèche in the Octagon for the very young if you need it. If this is your first time with us, please do fill in the slip at the end of the newsletter, so that we can keep in touch with you. St Mary’s is fitted with a hearing loop system. Members of the congregation who have a hearing aid with a ‘T’ switch will find that they can hear better when it is switched to ‘T’.

Coventry Myton Hospice
Open Gardens at 14 and 16 Cloister Croft and also 4 Hall Lane. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea on Saturday 19th June 11-3pm. Tombola, Raffle, Cakes etc. All proceeds to Coventry Myton Hospice. All welcome.

Confirmation Groups
We are continuing confirmation groups for adults and younger people this week. Adults are Monday, 8pm at 33 Brookshaw Way and younger folk on Tuesday after school (3.20 ish) in the Octagon. These will resume this week.

Coffee Club
The Coffee Club meets next on Wednesday 23rd June and 7th & 21st July at 10.45 am. Cost £1. All welcome

Installation of Wardens
Please note that on Wednesday, the bishop will be installing all Churchwardens at the Cathedral in a service at which the new Archdeacon Missioner will also be admitted to office. Please do come along to support Barbara & John our own wardens, though Barbara will be unable to come herself. The service starts at 7.30 pm.

Quiet Day - Saturday 19th June
This year’s Quiet Day at Wolvey will be led by Sister Chris who as most of you will know by now is also leading Mission2Grow here in September. Please let Tony know if you wish to come. Booking Forms are on the table in the Foyer. The day will last from 10am to 3.30pm.

Loft Clear Out
Following the roof issues some stuff in the loft got damaged. We need a clean out to see what can be recovered for sale at the Christmas Fayre. So I hereby call a working party on July 6th (7-8pm) to sort out the loft. (if many people come the emphasis will be on party and not on work). No physical strength required.

Stellas Ordination
It’s official the Bishop of Warwick will be ordaining me as a Priest on Saturday July 3rd at 4.00 pm in the Cathedral. It would be great to see you all there. If you require a lift there is a list to sign up on.

The morning after the night before
On Sunday 4th July, the day after my ordination I will be celebrating my first Eucharist at 10am (doing the bits Malcolm normally does). This will be a great celebration followed by a family picnic at Coombe Abbey. The idea being - everyone brings a picnic and a chair - we all go to Coombe abbey - and play games. Again a list for those requiring a lift is on the noticeboard.

Your talents required…..
On Saturday 25th September, the last Saturday of Mission2Grow we shall be holding a talent show and need you to take part! Dust off your talent, be it a poem, monologue, musical instrument or dance and tell Tony Thistlewood about it. This is to be a fun event - not too serious please.

Digital Organ
This Sunday we have a digital organ on trial. PCC are considering purchasing a new organ to give variety in our worship and this is a weekend we can have an organ on loan. PCC members would be grateful for any comments. Some have asked how PCC might afford this and whether any priorities have changed about refurbishing the Church. PCC can only consider this because of an extremely generous offer to cover the initial cost of the organ with an interest free loan.

Advance Notice
PCC have decided to hold a Christmas Fayre on 27th November. There will be a meeting to start the organisation for this on 5th July (details to follow).

Wanted …. straight wooden coat hangers for Audrey Curtis. Please see her for details.
