Collect:
Heavenly Father, your Son battled
with the powers of darkness,
and grew closer to you in the desert:
help us to use these days to grow in
wisdom and prayer that we may witness
to your saving love
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Stamping Out Cancer – Why bother to collect Used Stamps? On average once every 75 seconds someone is diagnosed with Cancer in the UK. Over 3750 young people are diagnosed each year of which around 2000 of them are less than 10 years old. Research into Cancer Treatment is advancing but more needs to be done. Every stamp you save goes to help find a cure. There is a box at the back of All Saints and an envelope on the porch noticeboard at St John’s for your used stamps.

Save the Date – The Our Mickleover summer fete will be on the weekend of June 27^th + 28^th on Vicarage Park. The Mickleover churches will be holding a stall, so we will need people to help put up the gazebo, staff the stall and then dismantle and pack away. More details will follow, but please put the date in your diary – the more people that can help the easier the job will be. Thanks. Mike Shooter
