Fr Tom is looking for volunteers to help with Children’s work in Hagley and Clent. If you would like to know more please get in touch with Fr Tom.
Thy Kingdom Come (from Ascension to Pentecost) is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Christ. There are three free resources available at our Benefice churches - The Prayer Journal, The Novena based on the Lord’s Prayer, and The Digital Detox. Fr. Tom is hosting a Churches Together Thy Kingdom Come prayer event on Thursday 5 June 7.30 pm at the Rectory. If you have a heart for praying for the local area please do come along - RSVP to Fr Tom Owen.
Foodbank:. This week the focus will be ‘Toilet Rolls’. Donations can be left at the back of all 3 churches and at the Clent Connect Shop.
Volunteers needed to join the team of ‘Housekeepers’ for St Saviour’s Hall. We check on supplies (handwash, loo rolls etc) for a week at a time. There is no cleaning involved, but we collect and wash the used tea towels. The more ‘Housekeepers’ we have the less often our duty week comes around. If you would like to help or for more information contact Margaret Rankin 884816 or Sue at the Parish Office.
Hagley Hub: On Tuesday 10th June at Hagley Hub we are holding a mini sale of new and nearly new items, all at bargain prices. Proceeds to the church
David Piper would like to thank everyone for their cards, calls and good wishes, it has really helped him through a difficult time.
