Almighty God, who called your Church to bear witness that you were in Christ reconciling the world to yourself: help us to proclaim the good news of your love, that all who hear it may be drawn to you; through him who was lifted up on the cross, and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
Collect for the Week 13th to 19th September
Eternal God, you crown the year with your goodness and you give us the fruits of the earth in their season: grant that we may use them to your glory, for the relief of those in need and for our own well-being; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen

Ride and Stride - Supporting the Historic Churches of Dorset including ours -12th September 2020 An annual fixture in every parish is the Ride & Stride event to raise funds for the Dorset Historic Churches Trust. Its aim is to help to keep our beautiful Dorset churches maintained by giving grants for repairs eg. to roofs, prevent water leakages etc. We are looking for individuals, families and bubbles to not only take part, but also to welcome riders and striders to our churches on the 12th, socially distancing of course! Please contact your Church Wardens if you want to help in anyway, including sponsoring the riders and striders.
Advance Notice - Annual Parochial Church Meetings ~ Reminder These will be held as follows: 24th September - St Nicholas Durweston at 7pm ~ Date Change ~ 20th September - St Peter, Pimperne at 12 Noon (after Sunday Service) 26th October - Holy Trinity, Stourpaine at 7pm More information to follow when available
Will someone wake Barry up, or do I have to throw this book at him?

Pimperne Village School Letter Link ~ Reminder We would like to create a link between the Worshippers at St Peter's Church and the children at Pimperne school. The idea is for you to write a letter or post card that will be sent to the school. The children will reply by sending a picture or a letter to be displayed in Church.
This is a guide for your correspondence, but you don't have to stick to it – When I was your age my favourite Bible story was ...... My school was in the village/city/town...... I walked ?? miles to school every day………….. My favourite lesson was ...... My favourite game was...... My best friend was...... My school day started with assembly every morning ...... The thing I liked most about school was ......
You get the idea? You may sign it with your name but please only show your address as Pimperne or Blandford Forum. We want to start a 'conversation' between the school children and the church. They are very interested in how things were for you when you were their age. It can be short or long. Entirely up to you.
We would like to send these letters to the school this September so they can read them when they settle back in and know that we are still thinking about them. I can arrange to collect your letter and then take them all to the school for the start of term. For more info call or text Jacqui Torrance on 07950 753320 or leave a message on 480713, or email [email protected]
Opening of Churches for Private Prayer. The churches of St Peter, St Nicholas and Holy Trinity are open on Thursday mornings from 10am to Noon and also on Sundays from 11am to 4pm. The only exception is when there is an Evening Service (2nd Sunday at St Nicholas, Durweston), when the Church will remain closed until the Evening Service at 6pm. Please follow the guidance posted at the entrances to each Church. When the Churches are closed our church porches will still be available as Prayer Spaces for private prayer.
If you would like us to pray for someone or a situation, you are welcome to write it down (it can be anonymous), place it in an envelope provided and put it in the basket which can be found in the Church porches of St Peter, Pimperne, Holy Trinity, Stourpaine and St Nicholas, Durweston. I will collect them on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, due the current restrictions, we are not able to provide pens and paper. Information about our services, morning and evening prayer can be found on our website http://www.psdbenefice.org.uk.

Church and Zoom Services - All times change in September! The Sunday service rota from 6th Sept to 11th October can be found on page 8 and on the Website; please read! Services are open to all and everyone across the Benefice. If you are thinking of attending a Church service, please could you consider the following: . Hymn books, Bibles and service orders have been stored away. If you are attending the BCP service, please could you bring a copy of the Prayer Book with you. For other services there will be a take-away service sheet for you to keep. . Social distancing in church remains at two metres. This means we may need to restrict the number of people attending the service. . You will be asked to wait at the door; the church warden or sides person will direct you to your seat. . The wearing of face coverings is mandatory when attending Church Services. . At the end of the service, please remain seated until you are asked to leave by the church warden or sides person. . The toilets at St Peter’s and St Nicholas’ churches will not be open for use. . There will be a retiring collection at the end of the service. Please place your gift in the basket as you leave. However, there is high level risk of cross contamination associated with coins and notes. If this is your usual way of giving, could you perhaps now consider paying by standing order? If you would like more information on this method of payment, please contact your church treasurer: St Peters - Velda Andrews Holy Trinity - Caro Mackay St Nicholas - John Young
The completed risk assessment for ‘opening churches for worship’ can be found on the Benefice website.
Future items for this news sheet should be sent to the Team Administrator at [email protected] by Monday 12.00 midday.

Hymns for Sunday 13th September
1 Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided, urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way, sought us and saved us, pardoned and provided, Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today.
2 Lord, for that word, the word of life which fires us, speaks to our hearts and sets our souls ablaze, teaches and trains, rebukes us and inspires us, Lord of the word, receive your people's praise.
3 Lord, for our land, in this our generation, spirits oppressed by pleasure, wealth and care; for young and old, for commonwealth and nation, Lord of our land, be pleased to hear our prayer.
4 Lord, for our world; when we disown and doubt him, loveless in strength, and comfortless in pain; hungry and helpless, lost indeed without him, Lord of the world, we pray that Christ may reign.
5 Lord, for ourselves; in living power remake us, self on the cross and Christ upon the throne; past put behind us, for the future take us, Lord of our lives, to live for Christ alone.

I give you a new commandment: love one another, love one another; as I have loved, as I have loved you, so you are to love one another. I give you a new commandment: Love one another, love one another.
If there is this love among you, then all will know, all will know that you are my disciples, that you are my disciples, that you are my disciples.
Peter Aston (b.1938) John 13.34-35
1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways; re-clothe us in our rightful mind; in purer lives thy service find, in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard beside the Syrian sea the gracious calling of the Lord, let us, like them, without a word rise up and follow thee.
3 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace.
4 Breathe through the heats of our desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm.
John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

1 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord! Unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice; tender to me the promise of his word; in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.
2 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his Name! Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done; his mercy sure, from age to age the same; his holy Name, the Lord, the Mighty One.
3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might! Powers and dominions lay their glory by. Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight, the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
4 Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word! Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord to children's children and for evermore!
