Church News & Notices
21st June - Notices
Open-Door Coffee meets this coming Friday 26th June
between 10.00 am and 12 noon in the Lounge.
You are warmly invited to a special joint service
of worship with Allerton URC and St Stephen’s URC on Sunday, 12th July at
11.00am - at St Stephen’s.
Following the service, everyone is invited to stay
for lunch prepared by Chris and Sue. This forms part of a project being
undertaken by our student minister, Kevin Boyd as part of his field education
requirements. His seminary has asked him to host a gathering that will provide
an opportunity to learn more about the churches, congregations and ministries
that make up this community. It provides a wonderful opportunity for us to
worship, enjoy fellowship, and share a meal together.
Could all those who plan to attend at the joint service at
St Stephen's, with the meal to follow, please sign the list at the back of the Church.
This is for catering purposes, and the list will be there for the next two Sundays. You should please indicate if you require a lift to the service as transport
by car will be readily provided. Please do not hesitate to request one.
Our service next week, will be at the usual time of 10.00 am and will be led by Dr Ron Reid
And, finally, an announcement about Baby Basics Liverpool. As mentioned last week, we are proposing to collect
pre-loved and new items for mothers in Liverpool who are in need. There are
information sheets on the tables at the back of the church (and set out below) which list items that can be donated. Please take a copy if you haven’t already
done so. We are proposing to run this project until Harvest Festival. If you
can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.
Baby Basics Liverpool
Each year at Allerton URC we have had
a tremendous response when collecting for Food Banks. Now the church is asking
for your support in donating to this organisation.
Baby Basics Liverpool is a volunteer-powered baby bank supporting
infants and parents experiencing hardship.
Working closely with health
professionals and other agencies, they provide new and excellent quality
preloved items for infants whose families are struggling to cope with the
financial and practical challenges of caring for a baby.
There are many ways in which we can
donate:
·
Donating
pre-loved items; they are desperate for Moses baskets, blankets and 0-3 months
clothing.
·
New
items, such as toiletries for baby; nappies; baby wipes etc.
·
Finally,
we can donate money.
So how can you help?
We hope to run this project until
Harvest Festival in September/ October so, in the meantime:
Share this information with families
and friends – help spread the word
Donate items that are listed by
bringing them to church
And, for all you knitters/crocheters
out there, please get knitting or crocheting.

Ongoing Notices
We like to use the computer, projector and screen for our services here at Allerton.
There is quite a bit of preparation that goes into having hymns and readings on
the screen and we would like to spread the workload as best we can. If you or a
member of your family are familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint and can spare a couple of hours once a month to assist with the setting up of a PowerPoint
presentation, we would like to hear from you. Please speak to Ruth Winterburn
or Charles Lasham.
