Summer Slow Down
Schools out for summer! That means from now until Sunday 3rd September there’ll be only one service at 10am with coffee served afterwards.
This week, Kim will be preaching and Lizzie leading. All are welcome and we’d love to see you! As the team take some holidays it may feel like church activities are slowing down, but we remember that God is still working in and through his people. There might not be as much to report in the weekly news letters, but we’ve plenty planned for September when we’ll all be well rested & refreshed ready for the new season at St. Wilfrid’s.

Friday Coffee Shop
Is now closed for the summer. Thank you to everyone who has visited us and to the team of volunteers who run it week in week out.

Youth Group
We’ve been blessed to see numbers at the Wednesday Youth Group slowly growing over the last 6 weeks. It’s taking a break over summer but will be back in September.

Coming up after Summer...

Calverley Carnival – Saturday 2nd September
We’re going to be joining in as a church and will be looking for all sorts of help! We're hoping to find lovely people who are happy to:
• Cheerily wander around the park handing out flyers/invitations to everyone and directing them to our gazebo stall.
• Notice folk with their dogs/pets and offer them a particular invitation to the gazebo to get their pet blessed/prayed for.
• Pray for the pets – and maybe, potentially, offer other opportunities for prayer (prayer tree for example).
You would need to be with someone else (we won’t wander alone/pray other than in pairs) and I don’t mind at all if people would rather just hand out fliers and not approach dogs, so we have included that as an option!
We'll make sure we have prayer cards with examples of prayers to use as a guideline, and we are thinking to provide stickers and dog treats.
If you would like to join in, that would be fantastic!
Please contact [email protected] what you’d like to offer and give an idea of when, between 12-4pm, you are free so we can draw up a rota.

Baptism Celebration Service
On Sunday 10th September at both services, we invite you to come and celebrate your baptism! Whether it was a few months ago or many years ago, join us at this special service where you can remember your own baptism and reflect on your faith journey. Bring along your baptism candle or get a new one from us!

START! September 2023
Our Start! course is ideal for those new to church or those who want to know more. It makes no assumptions about participants’ background or experience or knowledge of Christianity or the church. It really does start from scratch!
If you’re interested in coming along please chat to Rob or email [email protected]

Go Deeper - Live!
Our next Go Deeper - Live evening worship is on Sunday 17th September at 6:30pm. There’ll be live music again and the guest speaker this time is Marcus Green. Marcus is a Chaplain at Worcester College Oxford, author, bandleader, and LGBTQ campaigner, well-known nationally for his advocacy of LGBTQ+ equality in the Church.
