Could you help make cakes for the buffet reception after Rev Andy’s Institution service?
Guests need to be able to eat them from a serviette – no forks/spoons – and need to have a food allergy label. It would be helpful if you could let Correen know what you are making and roughly how many portions. Catch her at Sunday service or email People can either see me on a Sunday mornings or email boothroydcm@hotmail.com

Hilary is preparing a box of photos showing congregation members to give to Andy. Please submit a photo of yourself with name on the reverse. Post your photo in the box which will either be in church or in the vestry.
Please pray for our relationship with the Diocese and Deanery. We thank God for their support during this time.
Please pray for the wider community of Wheathampstead especially St Helen’s school that our relationship with them continues to grow and flourish.
Please pray for our new Rector. Andy. For wisdom for him as he begins planning for his move to Wheathampstead. That he will develop a clear vision for his ministry and mission.
