Collect - First Sunday of Lent
Lord God, you have renewed us with the living bread from heaven, by it you nourish our faith, increase our hope, and strengthen our love; teach us always to hunger for him who is the true and living bread, and enable us to live by every word that proceeds from out of your mouth; through Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen.

Summer Fair 4th July - Pat is looking for some new ideas for the Summer Fair which would be different and maybe in addition to what we already have.  Please think about it and if anything come to mind tell Pat.  They need to be cheap or better still free, as the fair is to make money for our church.  Thanks
