TRINITY XIII

WELCOME to worship at Dewsbury Minster today. If you are visiting, it’s really good to see you, and we hope that you will feel at home amongst us. Please take some time before our Services to recognise God’s presence with us and to pray for our worship together. If you need any help or information, whilst you are here, have a word with those on duty at the back of church, who will be pleased to be of assistance.

REVD ANN POLLARD’S LICENSING takes place here next Sunday evening and we shall be having a “Bring & Share” Supper following the Celebration Eucharist. Since there will be many of Ann’s family and friends with us, we shall need plenty of contributions of food to host

our guests. Please sign the lists in the churches with what you propose to bring.

FLOWERS IN CHURCH – Many of us are inspired by the Floral Displays created by Gill, Joyce and others around The Minster.

It would be really good if we could build up a Flower Fund so that this ministry can continue uninterrupted. If you have a special occasion or loved one that you would like to remember, then any donation towards Church Flowers would be truly appreciated. Gill is going to be out of action for the next few weeks and we send our love and prayers for a speedy recovery, but Joyce would be happy to receive your contributions at any time on their joint behalf.

IMPORTANT & URGENT PLEASE – The Team Parish application to register as a Charity is well in hand. All P.C.C. Members will automatically be members of the new Charity and are required to complete a “Trustee Details” Form by September 6^th. Copies are in respective Church pigeon holes and completed forms should be given to either Richard Middleton or The Rector as soon as possible. We also need to know whether you are in possession of a current CRB Enhanced Disclosure. Thank you for your co-operation.
