FEELIE BAGS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN IN ST MARY'S: We would like to make some bags with different things in them in them which families can pick up when they first come into church to help keep their children amused and happy. Please help! Do you have spare material, ribbon or chord? Do you have toys, teddies and/or Christian story books that are no longer being used? Can you sew? If you think you can help please call me on 872995 or drop off your contributions at 14 Venmore Drive. On behalf of our young ones thank you! Jo Hargrave
OVER 200 CAKES PROMISED - BUT MORE ARE NEEDED! Thank you to the folk who have already promised to make over 100 cakes for St Mary's Cake Stall and the Refreshments Stall at the Countess of Warwick's Show on August 26th & 27th. Previous experience shows that many more cakes are needed - probably up to 300 more! Details are at the back of church. Please sign up to indicate how you can help. All funds raised support the work of St Mary's.
LEARNING TO LISTEN The Acorn Healing Foundation run very good Listening Courses. Such a Course will be held on four Thursday evenings (Sept. 20th to October 11th inclusive) at St Mary's, Stebbing. It will cost £28 per person. Contact Gillian Warren (01371 856321) if you're interested.
COURSE IN CHRISTIAN STUDIES. Would you like to explore Christian life and faith with others in a relaxed and friendly environment? Well why not consider enrolling for the Chelmsford Diocese Course in Christian Studies. What's more, starting in September, there is now a centre on your doorstep - well in Stebbing to be precise. The group will meet on Tuesday mornings from 10.00 to 12.00 led by Revd Tim Goodbody (vicar of Stebbing) and Revd Mark James. More information from Mark.
NEW MINISTERS OF COMMUNION. The Bishop of Colchester has given permission for Mary Jensen and Tish Ramsay to be added to our faithful band of Ministers of Communion. They will begin their duties in September. Please pray for them as they prepare themselves for this task.
GUIDE DOG IN TRAINING Andrew Gower is training a gorgeous Yellow Labrador puppy to become a Guide Dog for a lady who regularly attends church where she lives. He may well be bringing the dog to St Mary's to get used to being church and other confined public spaces. Please do not give the dog any attention as this will be distracting and confusing. Thank you.
