It’s something most of us look forward to all year, a time for some free time, relaxation, peace and quiet. Sound like your holidays? No mine neither. We all have an idealised idea of what summertime is going to be like and although it is wonderful to enjoy, hopefully, the balmy days of summer it can become incredibly stressful. For those who have booked a holiday away from home, you can end up after all the saving, packing and cleaning the house from top to bottom before you go, (why do we do this anyway?), thinking to yourself why bother? Easier to stay home. But of course it isn’t, and a staycation can be just as much hard work; especially if the weather isn’t good and the family get bored! I love the summer and I love holidays and I’m sure whatever the initial grumbles you will have a great summer. I just hope that in all the fun and bustle you all manage to get some proper rest. We Brits have high ambitions, dreams and goal, we are always striving, in fact we tend to be over worked and under – rested. The Bible tells us that proper rest plays a significant role in our ability to live the life that God intended for us. God has plans for each of us, but we can get so tired we are unable to fulfil our God given potential. In our hectic lifestyles, we, me as well, far too often neglect to take a moment to be still. The scriptures tell us to do so and with good reason. As far back as the Psalms God speaks to mankind and says (Psalm 46:10), “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth”. The Psalms can be inspiring, but it is the words of Jesus himself in Matthew 11:28-32 that really encourage us to be still and rest in Him. Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart. And you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”. My hope and my prayer is that you have a very happy summer holidays and when term or work starts again you will be truly refreshed, and just to remind you our beautiful church doesn’t close for the holidays. The ministry team will still be there to worship with you and our contact numbers should you need us can be found in the Parish Magazine. Best Wishes Glen. Ps. I have carried this travel prayer in my purse for many years I thought you might like to share it. Travel Prayer Lord protect us as we travel The world is so exciting And lead us safely home. And we’re rushing Look after all the family Here and there, Wherever they may roam. Be with us when we’re sailing, On roads or in the air. 5 Sunday Services in the United Benefice for July Sunday 7th July – Trinity 3 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am BCP Holy Communion St Cuthbert’s 11.00am CW Eucharist & Confirmation Enrolment St Thomas’ Sunday 14th July – Trinity 4 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am CW Sung Eucharist St Cuthbert’s 11.00am Outdoor Parade Parish Hall Field Sunday 21st July – Trinity 5 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am BCP Holy Communion St Cuthbert’s 11.00am CW Sung Eucharist St Thomas’ Sunday 28th July – Trinity 6 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am CW Sung Eucharist St Cuthbert’s 11.00am CW Sung Eucharist St Thomas’ Mid-Week Communion Services Wednesday 3rd July 10.00am St Thomas’ Church The School Eucharists are open to all members of the congregation Wednesday 10th July 9.00am St Thomas’ School Wednesday 10th July 11.00am Haskayne School Thursday 11th July 9.15am St Cuthbert’s School Wednesday 17th July 10.00am St Thomas’ Church Wednesday 24th July 10.00am St Thomas’ Church Wednesday 31st July 10.00am St Thomas’ Church 6 Sunday Services in the United Benefice for August Sunday 4th August – Trinity 7 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am BCP Holy Communion St Cuthbert’s 11.00am CW Sung Eucharist St Thomas’ Sunday 11th August – Trinity 8 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am CW Sung Eucharist St Cuthbert’s 11.00am CW Sung Eucharist ST Thomas’ Sunday 18th August – Trinity 9 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am BCP Holy Communion St Cuthbert’s 11.00am CW Sung Eucharist St Thomas’ Sunday 25th August – Trinity 10 8.00am BCP Holy Communion St Thomas’ 9.30am CW Sung Eucharist St Cuthbert’s 11.00am CW Sung Eucharist St Thomas’ Mid-Week Communion Services Wednesday 7th August 10.00am St Thomas’ Church Wednesday 14th August 10.00am St Thomas’ Church Wednesday 21st August 10.00am St Thomas’ Church Wednesday 28th August 10.00am St Thomas’ Church 7 WARDENS AND SIDESPERSONS July / August 2019 7th Lynda Bramwell Anne Grimshaw Jim Critchley Len Davidson 14th Stephen Henders Elaine Ayre Bill Banks John Wroe 21st Lynda Bramwell Colin Throp Beryl Sephton Tara Kenyon 28th Stephen Henders Angela Webster Ann Cushion Rebecca Ridley 4th Lynda Bramwell Anne Grimshaw Elaine Ayre Philip Banks 11th Stephen Henders Elaine Ayre Eileen Houlgrave Ann Critchley 18th Lynda Bramwell Colin Throp Eleanor Wroe Enid Banks 25th Stephen Henders Angela Webster Jim Critchley Len Davidson CHURCH CLEANING ROTA July / August 2019 7th July A Critchley P Waterworth S Waterworth K Twist C Moss E Robinson M Mills 28th July P Carr E Houlgrave E Carr A Grimshaw A Webster J Aynsley 11th August E Wroe J Wroe K Mudd J Rawsthorne B Knowles 25th August E Banks N Donaldson M Webster L Wilkinson S Roberts CHALICE ROTA July / August 2019 7th July Ann Cushion Lynda Bramwell 14th July Tara Kenyon Lynda Bramwell 21st July Elaine Ayre Lynda Bramwell 28th July Sarah Mitchell Beryl Sephton August 2019 4th August Ann Throp Lynda Bramwell 11th August Gwyn Williams Lynda Bramwell 18th August Beryl Sephton Lynda Bramwell 25th August Diane Comfort Colin Throp 8 SANCTUARY LIGHTS HALSALL FROM THE REGISTERS JULY 1st Norman Rhodes (Birthday) 3rd Vivian Osmond Weights (Birthday) 3rd Catherine Bullough 3rd James Edward Cheetham (Birthday) 5th Walter Herbert Bullough 6th Nancy AInscough (Anniversary)
