LAST SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
(Proper 25)(Year A)
please remember to keep the last five minutes before the services, and especially the time during the administration of Holy Communion, for quiet prayer and reflection
(a bell will be rung before the main service at Sherburn)
Welcome to our services today (hope you enjoyed the extra hour of sleep). Although a Fifth Sunday, the services this morning are as a First Sunday - but no family service at Barkston. A special welcome to those attending our Annual Memorial Service at Sherburn this evening, in the season of All Souls, when we remember all those in our Benefices who have died in the past year or longer ago. The departed at Micklefield will also be remembered by name at the Eucharist on Wednesday morning (1 November): if you would like someone close to you included, please write their name on the sheet at the back of church (all those who have died this year will automatically be included).
Aberford Church Flower Arrangers would like to thank Mr Noel Speight for the beautiful Chrysanthemums he has again grown for our Harvest arrangements. To be able to use home- grown flowers is a wonderful treat and so perfect for harvest time. The size and colour of the blooms gave our church a glorious glow.
Thank you for the support of the coffee morning at Ledsham on 20 October, Sales for Martin House stand at £175.50, with a bit more to come, and the raffle and teas raised £121.10 towards the planned kitchen and toilet in the church.
