Dear people of God,

Please find attached YWOW for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity, together with this week's church notices.

This Friday (26 June), St Matthew's Coffee Morning will be held in the Church Hall from 10.00 am to 12 noon. If you are free, do come along for coffee, cake, conversation and friendship. Everyone is warmly welcome, and we would love to see you there. Our sincere thanks go to our wonderful team of organisers.

Please note that the Living Generously Bible Study will resume this coming Wednesday on 1 July, 7.00pm in St Matthew's church hall.

This Saturday there will be a Cheese and Wine Evening at St Matthew's Church Hall, starting at 7.00pm, food will be provided and please bring your own wine. Tickets are £10 and available from Christine. We hope many of you will be able to join us for what promises to be an enjoyable evening.

We are also looking forward to Steve and Viv Grunner's Coffee Morning on Friday 31 July, from 10.00 am to 12 noon. Tickets are £5, and all proceeds will go towards the refurbishment of St Matthew's Church Hall.

On Sunday 20 September, St Matthew's will celebrate its Patronal Festival (the Sunday nearest St Matthew's Day) with a Choral Book of Common Prayer Evensong, led by Christine and the choir. The service will be followed by refreshments in the Church Hall. Arleine is preparing a presentation on the life and worship of St Matthew's, so if you have any photographs, memorabilia or other items of interest, she would be delighted to hear from you.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who is helping to prepare for this special celebration and to all who continue to support the fundraising for the Church Hall. Please do encourage family, friends and neighbours to come along – everyone is warmly invited.

Our social events are a wonderful way of building fellowship and friendship, enjoying one another's company, and supporting the life and ministry of our churches. Thank you to everyone who works so hard behind the scenes to make them happen.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to the amazing team who have led the fundraising and refurbishment of St Matthew's Church Hall. It is a joy to see the beautiful new windows now in place, and we look forward to the refurbishment of the toilets as the next stage of this exciting project.

With every blessing,

Jane
