PRAYER FOR PENTECOST
We light a candle and enjoy the flickering light,
the fragrance and warmth it creates.
But without the spark that ignites, there will be no flame.
Without the wax, the source of power, the wick will not burn.
Without the flame, there will be no fragrance, no warmth, no light.
And so with us, Lord, You are the catalyst that ignites us,
and the fuel that sustains us
You fill us with your fragrance as you enter our lives.
You empower us to carry your flame in our hearts,
To be the fragrance, warmth and light of your love
in this dark world. Amen.
Prayer Ministry Team
If you would like a prayer for
yourself or somebody else, there
are people available upon
request before and after services.
Please speak to a steward.
Individual prayer is also offered during communion.
in the Lady Chapel.

St Luke’s Hospice Midnight Walk
After hearing Dr Kate Smith talking about the fantastic work that St
Luke’s carries out, Fiona and Harriet Loney have decided to take
part in the Midnight Walk on Saturday 27th June. As St Luke’s is
the charity that St Michael’s is supporting this quarter, it would be
great to get together a group (ladies only) from Church to take part
together. Let Fiona know if you’re interested in
joining in. It’s a fantastic night for a great cause. Look out for the
sponsor form soon to appear at the back of Church.
Christian Aid Emergency Appeal
Following the devastating earthquake in Nepal, Christian Aid have
launched an emergency appeal. If you feel you would like to make a
donation towards the relief effort, envelopes are available from the
table at the back of Church. You can send off the envelopes yourself,
or pass them to the office or a member of the Clergy and we will
send it off for you. Thank you.

Defibrillator—THANK YOU!!!
A big thank you to everybody who has contributed to the purchase of a
defibrillator. The money has now been raised and the defib has been
ordered. Bridget would like to say a particular thank you to those who
contributed so generously to the sale of plants. A grand total of £183.25 was
raised from this! We do, of course, hope that we never have to use the
defibrillator but it is reassuring to know it will be there if we need it.

Next event will be a strawberry tea on Thursday 25th
