COLLECTION OF THANKS Today the collection at the 8am, 9.30 and 11.15 services will be shared amongst our Readers and non-paid Assistant Clergy. If you are able to gift aid please use the blue envelopes provided. You may also drop any contribution in at the Office. MARTIN CROSS, RIP Martin has been tuning and maintaining our church organ for many years. He was a very conscientious craftsman maintaining the best possible standard for the organs in his care - at a rough guesstimate about 70 organs in Rochester Diocese alone. His skills will be much missed.

CHURCHYARD. We have received some offers of help with looking after some graves but could do with just few more. It’s akin to a little gardening and tidying and you’d only be given one to care for… unless you like more! Interested? Have a word with the Rector.

LISTENERS Often we do not have the opportunity to voice our concerns to someone who will simply listen. At St. Nicholas Church a small team of Christian Listeners, trained under the Acorn Listeners' Protocol, offer time to anyone who feels the need to talk. Listeners do not offer counselling but hope that by listening with care, respect and total confidentiality, they may offer the comfort of sharing and the time and space in which new strength and a possible way forward may be found. To make an appointment with a listener telephone the Parish Administrator 020 8467 0196 and a listener will be found for you.
