Hungry Men Wanted – to enjoy the next Men Folk breakfast on Saturday, 9th August. Come and enjoy eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, hash-browns and toast in The Hermitage. It’s a great opportunity for relaxed conversation and a chance to catch-up. Book your place by emailing mjhoughton@yahoo.co.uk, stating any dietary requirements. Cost: £5 cash on the day; 8.30-10.00 am in The Hermitage, Saturday, 9th August.
God in the Garden: 20th July. Here is a wonderful opportunity to rejoice and give thanks for our new brothers and sisters who will be making their baptism commitment on 20th July. The event is happening on the church lawn and will run from approximately 3pm. It begins with the monthly Charismatic service (instead of the usual time of 10.30 - no morning service). Then there will be a break for tea and cake. This will be followed by preparation for baptism and baptism of adult and children candidates. To finish, there will be a hog roast and a musical worship event. More details will follow, but put the date in your diary, it will be a fantastic day.
Eternal Wall Of Answered Prayer: this month's answer to prayer is encouragement for anyone suffering with a debilitating habit. Nothing is impossible for God. A hard copy can be found on the Prayer Table. It can also be found on this link. Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer
Requests for prayer: Did you know that St Peter's has a dedicated prayer team who are delighted to pray for you through the week. If you have a request for prayer, let Dorothy Houghton or Pat Milazzo know, or contact Andrew (0115 921 4522 / rev_buchanan@hotmail.com). Remember as well that we have a team who will pray with you after the Sunday service too.
Singing workshops for children: St Mary's in the Lace Market is holding two singing workshops for all interested children aged 6-11: ‘Sing Joyfully!’ (a workshop for girls) will be held on Monday 14th July at St Marys and ‘Boys Make Noise!’ (a workshop for boys) is on Tuesday 15th July at St Peter’s (the church in town, not us!). Both workshops are free and will give children the opportunity to learn a variety of sacred and secular music, to sing with the St Mary’s choirs and to perform a concert to their parents. For more information, click the relevant link: Sing Joyfully (girls) or Boys Make Noise (boys).
Children's Activities: There are organised children’s activities provided by St Peter’s and Ruddington Baptist Churches most Sundays (term time only) from 11:00 - 11:45am in St Peter’s Rooms where the Baptist Church meet. Generally the age group catered for is KS1, KS2 and KS3. Younger children would need a parent with them. We also have a creche for our youngest children.
Your News Snippets Still Wanted: For example, any challenges that have been overcome or what Christian resources you have found helpful. Or indeed, any other faith or church-related news. So, if you have something you would like to share, it doesn’t have to be “special”, send your contribution to Nikki Roe at ruddoffice@gmail.com – suggested length about 250 words maximum.
