The Seventh Sunday after Trinity
10.00am Parish Eucharist
Collect (Prayer):
Generous God,
you give us gifts and make them grow:
though our faith is small as mustard seed,
make it grow to your glory
and the flourishing of your kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Bible Readings:
Ecclesiastes 1.2, 12-14, Colossians 3.1-11, Luke 12.13-21
Prayer After Communion:
Lord God, whose Son is the true vine and the source of life,
ever giving himself that the world may live:
may we so receive within ourselves
the power of his death and passion
that, in his saving cup,
we may share his glory and be made perfect in his love;
for he is alive and reigns, now and for ever.

Pyrland School
When Alison Vercoe, School Chaplain came to a recent SALT night, she told us that a lot of the children don't have enough pens, pencils etc.
This is one way we can support the pupils and so during August we will be collecting the following items so that we can give them to the school at the start of the new term.
Please can you donate: Pencil cases, black, blue & red pens, highlighters, rulers, pencils, rubbers and colouring pencils.
There will be a large container at the back of church for the items.
We do not need pencil sharpeners or scissors.
Thanks very much for your support. Ruth Cook
