Please pray for these things on a Monday during the half hour from 6.30pm to 7pm. The Mission Prayer God of Mission, who alone brings growth to your Church, send your Holy Spirit to give vision to our planning, wisdom to our actions, and power to our witness. Help our church to grow in numbers, in spiritual commitment to you, and in service to our local community, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. HOLY CROSS TALENTS SCHEME: Everyone has a talent, sometimes more than one! The Holy Cross Social and Fundraising Committee has launched a Talents Scheme to raise funds for Holy Cross. The idea is that the Church will offer you £5.00 and ask you to multiply it as much as you can and as many times as you can. The initiative will run to the Patronal Festival on Sunday 15th September. If you would like to take part in this please do have a word with Joan Crosley (614053) or Hilary (615551). If you are not sure what you might have to offer Joan does have a list of ideas!
ISLE OF WIGHT FOODBANK: Both Holy Cross and St Peter’s churches have agreed to support the IW Foodbank again. Boxes are at the back of both churches which will be taken to the headquarters in Cowes on a regular basis. Both churches can be a collection point for both communities so please do make this as widely known as possible CHAIRS IN NORTH AISLE – HOLY CROSS: As you will see, the new chairs purchased in memory of Wendy Smith have arrived. If you would like to purchase a similar chair for the church in memory of a loved one or in thanksgiving for a special occasion, please speak to Hilary or Rodney. DONATIONS OF CEREALS: At the Café Church at Holy Cross last Sunday it was highlighted that the school holidays meant for some children that they would not have any breakfast. Staff in some schools would be staffing breakfast sessions but needed simple cereals for food. If you are able to help provide a packet of cereal there is a box at the back of Holy Cross for donations.
