Dear all,

Last Sunday we had our first Pet Service. This was something I'd wanted to experience for many years. We didn't know what to expect but on the day all went really well thanks for the thinking and planning of Jane Jakes. We heard about God's creation and how it is 'good' . We were reminded of the comfort, laughter and companionship that animals bring into our lives. If you missed this service don't worry there is another opportunity on Sunday 13th July at St Bartholomew's Greens Norton at 11:15 am.

Hymns and Pimm's - Sunday 21st June - 4:00 pm

I have been asked to oversee this event this year. When I led two years ago it was in church and a Songs of Praise. I chose a selection of traditional hymns together with brief readings, a poem and prayers.

This year I'd like to return to what has happened before and I'd like to invite hymn requests. Please do let me know any requests and if you would like to share, in a few sentencers, why the hymn is important to you.  It would be really good to include such thoughts and I'm sure we would all find it very moving. From about 3.15 pm on the day it would also be helpful to have some hands available to move chairs etc. as we set up in the vicarage garden.

With every Blessing,

Greg
Associate Priest

Could you help with our Eucharist Explained project?

This June we will once again be welcoming children aged 8–10 from our local schools into St Bartholomew's, Greens Norton (15th June) and St Lawrence, Towcester (22nd June) for our Eucharist Explained project.

Through a series of interactive prayer and reflection stations, children explore the meaning of the Eucharist and discover more about Christian worship in a fun and engaging way.

We are looking for volunteers who might be willing to help lead a simple station, welcome children, prepare resources beforehand, or simply support the project through prayer.

No previous experience is needed, and all materials and guidance will be provided. Appropriate DBS clearance and safeguarding training are required, but support can be given to anyone wishing to become involved.

If you would like to help in any way, please contact Sarah Barnett at tovefamilies@gmail.com.
