The Collect
Merciful God, you have prepared for those who love you
Such good things as pass our understanding:
Pour into our hearts such love toward you
That we, loving you in all things and above all things,
May obtain your promises,
Which exceed all that we can desire;
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

Notices
Flower arranging workshop – are you interested in helping with the flowers in church but feel you need some training, or would just like to learn or refresh anyway? Revd Rosie would like to have expressions of interest. The workshop will be planned for a Saturday morning and be run by an experienced flower arranger. Being creative together!
Wednesday Morning Coffee Corner– any offers of support would be most gratefully received. Thank you.
Clewer Fuel Allotments – spare plots available. If anyone is interested or knows anyone else who may be interested in taking up this offer, please speak to Revd Rosie on 01753 852334.
Food Share at All Saints, Dedworth – needs restocking: particularly toiletries and toilet paper. Please give generously and take your items to All Saints, or Tesco, who have the Food Share Bucket at the moment. Alternatively, please bring your donations to church and we shall see that they are forwarded. Thank you.
Saturday Mornings – 9-10am Come & Pray
Church will be open for prayer.
Summer Holidays – Friday Prayers & Bears will be extended to become
“Summer at St Andrews Play and Praise”
10am – 12 noon Friday mornings throughout August, at church. There will be craft activities, story time, music and play, prayers and snacks. Please spread the word, and … as always, we will need volunteers to make this a success. Please take some flyers and hand out this week. Thank you.
Coffee Corner
We hope you are beginning to enjoy the benefits of the Coffee Corner and we would be pleased to have some volunteers to help with this task.
To help keep the church mice at bay, we need to clean and clear up after ourselves, wiping down and emptying the bins. Bins are provided for general waste, recycling and ‘slops’.
Ideally, this would be done on a rota basis. Would anyone like to lead a team and offer to make a coffee rota for our church services? It’s an opportunity to get to know each other, share in fellowship and provide a really warm welcome to new, as well as regular visitors to our church.
There is also a ‘piggy bank’ to collect donations for coffee (suggestion £1) to cover the cost as we don’t wish to burden the time and pockets of the same people each week. Thank you.
*** All Rotas abandoned for August – if you would like to help, just do it or phone Revd Rosie.
**** Please see website and notice board for all information about services in August
