Dear Friends,
The 1st July
marked a significant change for the churches in Oadby as St Paul’s became its
own parish, joining with St Peter’s and also the churches in Great Glen, Burton
Overy & Carlton Curlieu to form a new Benefice of Oadby, Great Glen. At
this time of pastoral reorganisation we are also preparing to say farewell to
Liz who has been a Team Vicar based at St Peter’s, we will do this at a joint
service on the 29th September. Do pray for all the churches in the
team at this time of restructuring and for all of us as we get used to a new
way of working.
We continue with our summer
sermon series through July and August focussing on Paul’s letter to the
Philippians. It is good to share this series with St Peter’s and to hear from a
variety of preachers.
Special services in these
months include the Mayor’s Civic service on the 28th July, our
Holiday Club celebration on the 11th August and a visiting speaker
from Christian Solidarity Worldwide on the 1st September. A week
later on the 8th September I shall be doing the Great North Run, a
half marathon, to raise money for CSW.
Every blessing,
Steve
