Table Top and Craft Sale: BAKERS and HELPERS needed  - we need help!  

Setting up from 2pm on Friday. Church stalls set up, and tables set out ready for those hiring a table. Please come along and help if you are able.

Next Saturday, 28th June is our first Table Top Sale, which includes a cake table run by the church.  However, a large number of cakes are required for this, so if you can bake, can you please help?  We are serving light lunches during the event, (with yet more cakes being sold in the cafe area), so why not come and visit the event, whether you have provided cakes or not?  The tables are being used for a wide variety of goods, and we hope to see as many people as possible on the day.

For information and table bookings contact 

Sharon on tunstallsharon2@gmail.com or 07930930514.   All tables to be booked and paid in advance by cash or bank transfer as soon as possible.

If you can help us, please inform Sharon or Madeleine, or add your name to the list which will be on the Foyer table this Sunday.      Thanks

 MAYC reunion

To celebrate the 40th Year Anniversary since “Metamorphosis,” friends in the West Pennine Moors circuit have planned an MAYC reunion.  This will take place on Sunday 17th August at Rhyddings Methodist Church, Oswaldtwistle when the preacher at 10:30 will be Rev Keith Borwick.  This will be followed by lunch and then an afternoon of coming together and sharing our memories and stories.  It would be great to try to capture as many stories as possible, of what MAYC meant to you. Everyone is welcome, just let us know that you are coming so that we can ensure that we have sufficient food for everyone at lunch!

And Finally…(  From ' A Nonagenarian's Notebook !)

An electrician arrived home late from work ...

His wife said, "wire you insulate"...

He said, "Watt! I'm ohm aren't I?"...

(That really is shocking folks! So bad it Hertz !)

Methodist Reflective Prayer

Gracious God, in your love for us you gave us your son, our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank you that you call us to be in a loving relationship with you. We thank you for being in our lives, for being our parent as we, your children, strive to live out our discipleship in worship and mission. We ask this in your Holy Trinity name. Amen.
