Mothers' Union Prayers
If you are ready to partake of grace you have not to atone for your sins – you have merely to accept of
the atonement. All that you want to do is to cry, ‘God have mercy upon me,’ and you will receive the
blessing. D. L. Moody, US evangelist, 1837-1899

There will be a collection for a leaving present, and a box will be at the back of the Churches at the main 10.00am services, for donations each Sunday in July, and 6th & 13th August.
Donations can also be made to Sue Whitewick, 26 Solent View Road, Seaview. If giving by cheque please make payable to PCC St Helen’s.
Thank you in anticipation.
After the Regatta service on 20th August at 12.00 noon there will be a buffet lunch to say farewell to Rob, Anthea & Luke.
If you would like to attend please sign the sheet at the back of the churches to give us an idea of how many to cater for.
St Peter's Church Fete
Our annual church and community fete will be held on Thursday 10th August at 2.00pm on the Seaview Football field.
In order to make this a success we will need lots of helpers;
donations of books, bottles, cakes, tombola prizes, toiletries, toys, plants and produce, and White Elephant.
Boxes will be left at the back of the Church for donations; or they can be collected if necessary.
Pitches are available at £15.00 [or £10.00 for charity]. For more information please contact Sylvia.
Building Work - St Peter's Undercroft Project
The work on the undercroft continues and we are now approaching the final stages of installing kitchen and toilet facilities;
flooring and furnishing to make this an attractive and useful place for the whole community.
However, we need your help in raising the funds needed.
To this end Sunday July 30th will be a non-eucharistic gift service for all the family.
Please think about this and come prepared to give what you can.
If you are unable to attend that service and would like to make a donation
please contact Robin Hamilton or Sylvia Beardsmore.
Should you wish to make a regular donation by Standing Order
please contact Bob Somers.
Open Churches
We are proud of the fact that here in Seavieaw and St Helen's our churches are open every day between 9.00am and 5.00pm giving visitors the opportunity to look round or spend some quiet
moments in prayer and reflection. However, in order to sustain this we really need more people on the rota to lock and unlock St Peter's church.
We will also need more people during the interregnum at St Helen's.
If this is something you think you could do please see Sylvia [St Peter's], Rose or Jim [St Helen's].
