Thank you: to all of the ‘Friends of St. Lawrence’ who ran the Tower Open Day on Saturday. Your efforts were appreciated. Thank you: to all who helped to collect for Christian Aid this week. We appreciate it is not always easy going door to door, but your efforts are really appreciated and help the world’s poorest. Thank you.

Next Sunday (20th) at 6:30pm: We warmly extend an invitation to this very peaceful service in which the laying on of hands is offered as a way of seeking Christ’s healing touch in our lives or on behalf of others. The service is an opportunity to bring to God our own needs or the needs of others, be they physical, emotional or spiritual, within a gentle service that respects the privacy of the individual. No collection is taken and people arrive and leave in quietness."

Thank you Michelle: We are expecting just over £300 to have been raised by Michelle in running the London Marathon for our young people’s choir. Super effort Michelle – thank you! However, there are still a few names on the sponsor list at the back of church without a tick by! If your name is there could you kindly let Mark or a churchwarden have your sponsor money as soon as you can. Thank you!
