TEN DAYS OF PRAYER 
Bishop Steven’s Ten Days of Prayer begin at the end of this month on Ascension Day which is Thursday 29th May.  The PCC suggest that this year church groups take the initiative in prayer. So, any group meeting during the 10 days, either in church or at home, should take time to join in the prayers in some way.  Murray will put a signup sheet at the back of church for groups to indicate that they are taking part.  All you need do is say that you will take a bit of time to join in the prayer as part of your meeting, say where you will be meeting and if your meeting will be open to others to join you or not (that is very much up to you – you know the nature of your group!).  We have plenty of 10 Days of Prayer leaflets which have suggested bible readings and prayer topics for each day.  Let’s see a diversity of ways of praying at St Paul’s and around the parish!

THANK YOU to everyone who grew plants and supplied cakes for last Saturday’s event and all those people who came to support us.  We raised £335 on the day towards our window repairs and there are still lots more tomato and chilli plants left in church if you missed the sale! 

ANNIVERSARY INVITATION The Dean and Chapter invite you to a Eucharist to mark the 20th Anniversary of the Ordination of Women on Sat 14th June 2014 at 11.00 am at Sheffield Cathedral.

Please RSVP by 6th to Mrs J Watson, Sheffield Cathedral, Church St, Sheffiled S1 1HA or info@sheffield-cathedral.org.uk June (no tickets will be issued.)

DIOCESAN CENTENARY Please see Murray if you can help at our local event on Sunday 22nd June from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm at Beauchief Abbey.  We had the first evening of stewards training which was very well received, and very interesting.  But we are still in need of stewards for our events at Beauchief Abbey, Sheffield We are holding a second training evening on 28 May at Church House, Rotherham  7 pm.  The role of the stewards will be very important at the events.  They will be welcoming people, manning stalls, answering enquiries etc – they will be the people who are meeting and greeting everyone.  Unfortunately only people who have attended the training will be able to act as stewards at the events.  

W.I. OUTING On Wednesday 6th August, Norton Lees (St Paul’s) Women’s Institute is planning a trip which includes a two hour cruise on the Leeds/Liverpool Canal with lunch served on the boat. There will also be a stop on the way home for afternoon tea. There are still a few spaces left so why not come with a friend for a lovely day out? The price is £27.00 and includes coach fare, the canal trip and lunch but not afternoon tea  – telephone Sylvia Sanderson on 0114 2582194 if you’d like to know more or to book a place. The coach will be leaving St Paul’s at 9.30 am and will arrive back in Sheffield about 6.00 pm.

FOODBANK UPDATE
Last week they gave out 276kg of food and received 332kg, 20kg from St Paul’s.  A steady day,  not as busy as some weeks.  A client came to them from a Police Station having been beaten up and robbed the night before and then was in hospital for 7 hours.  Another was a former plasterer who can no longer work because of a back injury and is now on a lot of medication.

From Murray 
Thank you to everyone who has expressed concern and being praying for me after my ME relapse last week.  I am pleased to say that I am doing a bit better each day and feeling more like myself again.  It was a nasty shock and a warning not to keep on over
