FB_Newsletter_May_2013.pdf THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
We are a Church of about 300 members who love the Lord and want to make him better known.
The Church is open and staffed every day. Come and pray or just look around between 11am and 1pm (10am to 2pm on Wednesdays, which is Market Day.)
There is also a bookshop with a range of Christian books which also sells Fair Trade goods.
There are three services every Sunday and a variety of worship is on offer.
The best attended Service is at 10.30am (when there are groups for children) and we hope you will come and join us.
We are very close to the Shropshire Union Canal and we welcome all boaters to our Services. You can't miss us, just look for the Tower!

Martin Tanner, Vicar
28 days Notice from 4th May 2013 is hereby given for objection to the request of the St Mary's PCC to
1. Remove a pew from the middle of the Nave to provide space for those in wheelchairs, buggies or electric scooters to sit
in the middle of the church rather than be confined to the side aisles

If you wish to object to any of the works or proposals you should write giving reasons for your objection to:
The Diocesan Registrar, FBC Manby Bowdler LLP Routh House, Hall Court Hall Park Way Telford TF3 4NJ

and whether you live in the Parish and/or your name is entered on the Electoral Roll of the parish or any other capacity in which you write.

A PRAYER TO START THE DAY "Thank you, Lord, for this new day.
Give me wisdom to see its possibilities and opportunities;
Give me strength to face its challenges;
Take from me any lethargy or laziness and give me a heart of love
to do a favour, speak a kindness, offer a hand, soothe a hurt, celebrate a joy,
share a sorrow or in some small way give myself in love to another in your Name.
This I pray through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Adapted from a prayer by Michael Revell
