Notices
Lent 2010
Our Lent observance this year will be a Lent themed Eucharist on Wednesdays at 12.15 pm. We have invited speakers to give a short homily on each Wednesday. The speakers are, beginning on Ash Wednesday: The Bishop of Liverpool, The Chaplain of Liverpool Football Club, The Dean of Liverpool Cathedral, The Chaplain of Walton Prison, The Archbishop of Liverpool, and the Chaplain of Everton Football Club. I would be most grateful if parishioners, who are free during the day, would come to these weekly talks and also to encourage any family and friends and others to come and be with us at lunchtime on Wednesdays during Lent. Derek Sadler, our organist, will give an organ recital from 12.00 - 12.15 pm on each Wednesday.
Romanian Orthodox Community
We have received a very nice letter from the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of Western Europe, thanking us for our assistance and support to the Romanian Orthodox parish in Liverpool. A copy of the letter may be seen on the notice board in the Narthex.
Bishop's Conference
Saturday 20th March 2010, 9.30 am -12.30 pm, BT Convention Centre, Liverpool. Led by Bishop James, this will explore ways of getting your church fired up for mission and ensuring you are equipped to reach out to all. Speakers include Bishop Graham Cray. Free and open to all, we would particularly encourage churches to send groups made up of clergy, PCC members and parishioners. Places are limited so you are advised to book early. To book, contact chris.leggett@liverpool.anglican.org. Telephone 0151 705 2122
Thank You
Stan and Doreen Owens thank everyone for the cards and good wishes on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Many thanks for making the weekend so memorable.
Teddies for Tragedies Knitting Pattern
Calling all knitters. Could you spare an hour or two to knit a little teddy for a child in the third world or in war torn countries? See the leaflet on the notice board in the Narthex, copies of which are available from the office.
Annual Parochial Church Meeting
will take place on Sunday 18th April starting at 11.00 am prompt. Please put this date in your diary.
Maundy Lilies
As in previous years, there is an opportunity for you to donate a lily, in memory of a loved one, to be placed on the Altar of Repose on Maundy Thursday. There is a list at the back of church for you to put your name and the name of the person to be remembered. Lilies are £3.00 a stem for each loved one.
Jam Jars
urgently required. Please give to Margaret Sadler, or during the week to Jean in the office.
Calling All Gardeners!
In an effort to raise funds for our church, we are participating in a scheme run by Suttons whereby part of the money which you pay for your plants and seeds is returned to the church (rather like the Webb Ivory Christmas scheme). Catalogues and order forms are available from either Joyce Ashcroft or in the narthex, and should be returned to Joyce as soon as possible. Cheques should be made payable to 'Liverpool Parish Church' and delivery will be to your home address. Any queries, please contact Joyce.
