   Almighty God,

   and called her to be a witness to his resurrection:
   forgive our sins and heal us by your grace,
   that we may serve you in the power of his risen life;
   who is alive and reigns with you,
   in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
   one God, now and for ever.

Greenbelt, August Bank Holiday weekend
Ann Roberts and her girls are planning on going (for the very first time) this August bank holiday weekend. Tickets are available at www.greenbelt.org.uk - either for single days or the whole weekend. They'll be camping using Camplight - who recycle equipment abandoned at other festivals and pre-pitch tents and blow up airbeds!! They even undertake to put groups together if wanted. Go to www.camplight.co.uk - book as 'Merton Priory' to be nearby. Do give Ann a call on 07956 934578 if you want to know more!

Chris has left our parish to become Canon Chancellor of Exeter Cathedral. His installation in Exeter Cathedral will be on 5 August at 3 p.m.; bookings for the coach (£25 per seat) have now closed, but if you still want a place please speak to Ann Newson - if more people go, the cost may be reduced slightly.
There will be one service for all three churches that day, at St John's at 10.30 a.m.
