YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE…	
The Messengers Sunday School group is planning to run 2 groups (3s-5s and 6 & up) on the second and third Sundays of each month, starting this month. We also want to involve the older group in the new Family/Children’s service on the fourth Sunday of each month. We urgently need people with skills/talents/interests that will inspire our rapidly expanding group of Messengers. As it’s only “every once and a while” that we’re looking for, and you’re all so talented, it’s difficult to think of any one of you that hasn’t got something to offer our youngsters. Please contact Stephen Lines ASAP in Church or by phone on 01462 639479 and be prepared to join a very long queue!. Thank you…	

INTERCESSIONS…	
St Michael’s has an intercessory prayer book available for prayer requests – you will find it on a small table in front of the Lady Chapel at the back of the Church – do feel free to use it.	

HOME VISITS…	
If you would like to receive a visit at home, to receive Communion, for prayer, or for a chat, please ring 813334/817337. The Vicar, John Harper or Lay Reader, Jenny Dann will always be pleased to call.
Likewise, if you know of any who are in hospital or who are unwell at home, please let us know	

Details of events for the February 2006 edition of “What’s On” should reach Jenny Dann NO LATER THAN SUNDAY 22nd JANUARY, THANK YOU!
