helped shorten the war by nearly two
years. The cost (adults) is £25 which
covers the cost of the coach and

June Charity at St Nicholas: Under Tree
Schools is a charity helping a community in
rural South Sudan to grow into a self-sustaining
and thriving place for families. Education for
the girls will help lift the community out of
subsistence and bring them a better life. The
girls in the town need to learn vocational skills
of agriculture and health education. Donations
are needed for the running costs of the school
and enable the addition of a library and the
expansion of the farm. They say – Come and
join us in building links with the newest country
of the world.

Traidcraft: Thank you to everyone who
supports the Stall. I have news from GPI in
Nepal – they are just getting back on their feet
after the earthquakes and beginning to work
again producing lovely handmade paper and
felt goods. I am making a feature of their
products whenever I sell Traidcraft and support
has been good. The best way of helping the
people of Nepal in the long-term is by buying
their products, so they will be on sale in Church
on Sunday 14th June and at Friday Coffee on
12th June. I am still in need of volunteers to
cover the Stall on the Sundays when I can’t do
it so please sign up if you can help or contact
me on 695503. Kate Baldry.

O God,
the strength of all those who put their

and, because through the weakness of
our mortal nature
we can do no good thing without you,
grant us the help of your grace,
that in the keeping of your
commandments
we may please you both in will and deed;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Gospel: Mark 3:20-end.
First Reading: Genesis3:8-15.
Psalm:130
R: My soul waits for the Lord
Out of the depths have I cried to you,
O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice;
let your ears consider well the voice of
my supplication.
If you, Lord, were to mark what is done
amiss,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you shall be feared. R
I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for
him;
in his word is my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord,
more than the night watch for the
morning,
more than the night watch for the
morning. R
