WANT YOUR LOCAL CHURCH TO BE THERE….. x Because you want your daughter to be married there x Because you want your children or grandchildren to be christened there x Because you’ve thought your funeral would be there x Because it’s unthinkable for our village not to have a church x Because you support the values the church espouses x Or any other of a hundred other reasons too….. Our church members, who already give generously, and work hard on fund- raising throughout the year, have been asked to increase their giving, so that those who use our churches occasionally (and maybe that’s you) can know that your village church will be here for decades to come. But it costs over £150 per day – per day!- to keep our five parish churches (Askham Richard, Bilbrough, Long Marston, Rufforth, Tockwith) open. So we’re asking our villages to chip in. YOU can support your village church in one of the following ways- x Sponsor your village church for a day (£30) or a week (£210) x Make a one-off gift to your village church, and Gift-Aid it, please (see below) x Leave a legacy to your village church x Make a regular donation to your village church, and if you are a tax-payer, Gift-Aid it, so that the government gives us and extra 25p for every £1 donated. 1DPH«««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« $GGUHVV«««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« &RQWDFWGHWDLOV«««««««««««««««««««« 3OHDVHILQGP\JLIWRI«««««««««««HQFORVHG7KLVLVEHFDXVH WLFNDV appropriate) /͛ĚůŝŬĞƚŽƐƵƉƉŽƌƚƌĞŐƵůĂƌůLJ͘WůĞĂƐĞĐŽŶƚĂĐƚŵĞƚŽƚĞůůŵĞŚŽǁ/ĐĂŶĚŽƚŚŝƐ͘ dŚŝƐŝƐĂŽŶĞͲŽĨĨŐŝĨƚ͘/͛ŵ'ŝĨƚͲŝĚŝŶŐŝƚďLJƚŝĐŬŝŶŐƚŚĞďŽdžŽŶƚŚĞƌŝŐŚƚŚĞƌĞ dŚŝƐŐŝĨƚŽĨάϯϬǁŝůůƐƉŽŶƐŽƌƚŚĞĐŚƵƌĐŚŝŶ͙͙͙͙͙͙͙͙͙͘͘͘͘;ŶĂŵĞŽĨǀŝůůĂŐĞͿĨŽƌŽŶĞĚĂLJ dŚŝƐŐŝĨƚŽĨάϮϭϬǁŝůůƐƉŽŶƐŽƌƚŚĞĐŚƵƌĐŚŝŶ͙͙͙͙͙͙͙͙͙͘͘͘;ŶĂŵĞŽĨǀŝůůĂŐĞͿĨŽƌĂǁĞĞŬ /͛ĚůŝŬĞƚŽŬŶŽǁŚŽǁƚŽůĞĂǀĞĂůĞŐĂĐLJƚŽƚŚĞĐŚƵƌĐŚŝŶŵLJǁŝůů͘WůĞĂƐĞĐŽŶƚĂĐƚŵĞ͘ &ŝůůŝŶƚŚĞĨŽƌŵ͕ƚĞĂƌƚŚŝƐƉĂŐĞŽƵƚ͕ĂŶĚƐĞŶĚŝƚƚŽZĞǀ͘ZŽLJ^ŚĂǁĂƚϯϮ͕tĞƐƚĨŝĞůĚZŽĂĚ͕ dŽĐŬǁŝƚŚ͕zŽƌŬzKϮϲϳWz͕ǁŚŽǁŝůůƉĂƐƐŝƚƚŽLJŽƵƌůŽĐĂůĐŚƵƌĐŚ͘ DĂŶLJƚŚĂŶŬƐ͊ŶĚ'ŽĚďůĞƐƐLJŽƵ͕ŚŽǁĞǀĞƌLJŽƵƌĞƐƉŽŶĚ͘ READINGS and PSALMS FEBRUARY 2017 5 The Fifth Sunday of 1st Reading: Isaiah 58 1-9a Epiphany (Green) Psalm: 112. 1-9 2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 2.1-12 Gospel: Matthew 5. 13-20 12 The Third Sunday 1st Reading: Deuteronomy 30.15-20 Before Lent (Green) Psalm: 119. 1-8 2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 3. 1-9 Gospel: Matthew 5. 21-37 19 The Second Sunday 1st Reading: Genesis 1.1-23 Before Lent (Green) Psalm: 136 1-9, 23-26 2nd Reading: Romans 8.18-25 Gospel: Matthew 6. 25-34 26 The Sunday next 1st Reading: Exodus 24. 12-18 Before Lent (Green) Psalm: 2 2nd Reading: 2 Peter 1. 16-21 Gospel: Matthew 17.1-9 Note ± Use of Readings a) Holy Communion Services and Morning Worship: Both readings and Gospel b) Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer: Old Testament Reading (First reading) New Testament (The Gospel) c) Services requiring only one reading: The Gospel is used ¶ !¶ !¶ !¶ !¶ !¶ !¶ !¶ ! A REMINDER ABOUT MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS Magazine subscriptions are now due and the cost is still £8.00 for the year. It makes all our jobs easier if you can pay your distributor promptly again.
