REMEMBRANCE SERVICE Sunday 8th November
CHANGE OF PLAN
In view of the ongoing COVID situation and the frequently changing rules,
Councils are urging people not to gather for services and ceremonies at war
memorials this year. Consequently our new plan for the day is a follows:

From 10.30am Online Remembrance Service including the silence at 11am.
It would be wonderful if we could mark the day and remember our servicemen and women by placing a poppy in our window and making a donation to the
Royal British Legion. You can both donate and buy a whole variety of
poppies at poppyshop.org.uk

Church of St. John the Evangelist, Hildenborough FINAL WORD… “If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a
citizen of the world” Francis Bacon
‘PRAYER BOX’
The Collect for the Twentieth Sunday after Trinity: God, the giver of life, whose Holy Spirit wells up within your Church: by the Spirit’s gifts equip us to live the gospel of Christ and make us eager to do your will, that we may share with the whole creation the joys of eternal life; 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. Please pray for: Sue Glass and her parents. Sue’s Mum, who is her Dad’s main carer, is undergoing cancer treatment. Joy and Dilshad Lazarus as they adjust to life with Daim away at university in Brighton. Joan Taylor in need of a cataract operation and Irene Pegley recovering from her surgery. David Hunter, Sophia Greensmith, Jenny McMillan, Sheena Talbert, Angela and Peter Juddery, Nadia Mulder, Albert and Pam Foord, Tony Halstead, Arthur Gissing, Ben Sales, Gillian Taylor, Bill Izzard, Caroline Gaunt & Pieter Kooiman with ongoing health issues. All those grieving loved ones, all those we know who are unwell & for those carers amongst us. All those who are anxious in the face of COVID and other winter illnesses. Anyone who has been made redundant or is anxious about finances or job prospects, especially as the furlough scheme draws to a close. A good rest for those who are able over the school holiday. Wisdom for Tim, the staff team & PCC deciding what services & events can safely be held. Our mission partner Tearfund. (See info below.)
If you or anyone you know would value prayer or would like a phone call please contact Tim.
