Beating the Bounds
We are going to walk the parish boundaries on Sunday, 8 June. We are planning to leave Holy Trinity at about 11.30 a.m. and head towards Christ Church; we will leave there at about 1 p.m. and arrive at St John's at about 3 p.m. Bring drinks and snacks. We hope you can join some or all of the walk as we ask God's blessing on our parish!

Appointment of a new Team Vicar
We are beginning to work on the process of attracting and recruiting a new Team Vicar. The DCC and Churchwarden would very much value your thoughts by completing this questionnaire by Sunday, 15 June, which will help us to determine the key characteristics that will best serve St John's in this new chapter.

Fun and Games Toddler Group is run at St John's Church Hall and is part of our mission initiative on High Path Estate. It is also a joint venture with Griffiths Road Methodist Church. Would you like to help keep this worthwhile activity running? We need to know that we will have volunteers from September onwards after Alison has retired. Please contact Alison for further information.

Curacy News
Our new curate, Mary Kilikidi, will be moving into her house in mid-June. She asks if anyone has a spare piece of furniture they could donate to furnish an empty house! Let Mark know if you can help. A welcome basket of goodies is being put together (Mary is a pescatarian) – please leave donations in any of the churches on or before 8 June – thank you.

We are saddened by the death of Eva Parker on 21 May. Eva was a good and faithful servant of the church, both at St John's and across the whole team, as well as at Deanery and Diocesan level. Funeral arrangements will be announced when available.
May our dear Eva rest in peace and rise in glory, and the good Lord surround her family and all who mourn her passing.
