Please pray for the repose of Barbara King.
V. Lord all pitying, Jesu blest,
R. Grant her thine eternal rest.

The new rota for readers, intercessors and chalice assistants for April to July is now available at the back of the church. Please pick up your copy.
Millennium Window: This project is on the move again after years being stalled. The plan is to renew one of the windows in the south aisle with a mixture of stained and plain glass. What we want now are your ideas for a subject. Then we can get the stained glass window artist to draw up some designs. Please give your ideas to Fr. Peter. IMPORTANT NOTE! In light of our current stewardship campaign it is important to note that money for the window has already been given and legally cannot be used for any other purpose.
'Give us the Wings of Faith' - CD by Choir and Congregation. The CDs are still available and make good Christmas presents.
Readers are reminded that there will usually be a large print version of the reading available on the piano. Please check before the start of the service.
If you know of anyone who would appreciate a visit from a member of St Saviour's or the Vicar, please let a Churchwarden know.
Please make use of the Church Library and bookstall.
Wave of Prayer - If our stewardship campaign is to succeed it must be underpinned by prayer throughout. Please pray for it each day but sign up on the list at the back of church to be responsible for particular days.

Events


The flowers by the statue of Our Lady are sponsored by Susan Hare and Sue Myerscough to celebrate the 8th May which was the shared birthday of their fathers, before it also became VE Day. Both Susans spent their early childhood in St Helens, and their fathers were work colleagues and friends.
Men's Group Outing: Site visit to Rothamsted Research, Harpenden followed by supper at Prezzo (pasta & pizza), 15 Leyton House, Harpenden Common on Tuesday 6th May at 7pm. Lifts available from St Albans & Redbourn. Please let Fr Andrew know you are coming - 01582 794265, 07818 446720 or andrewferrar@btinternet.com.
Next Sunday we celebrate the completion of our 'Giving in Grace' campaign and pray for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our church.
Christian Aid Week: Christian Aid Week is from 11th to 17th May and we need people to do the collecting from the roads for which we take responsibility. Mike Chambers has kindly agreed to be the co-ordinator again this year. If you can help, please contact him on 01727 838-873.
Corpus Christi Festival: The Friends of St Saviour's are organizing their first Corpus Christi Festival on Saturday 24th May. For St Saviour's this will take the place of the usual observance on Thursday 22nd May. All are welcome (bring a friend too) to join in a great celebration of the Institution of the Holy Eucharist. You can come and go as you please. At 11am there will be High Mass celebrated by our local Bishop, the Right Reverend Christopher Foster of Hertford, then lunch (bring your own - the Friends provide drinks) and in the afternoon listen to Canon Martin Warner (Canon Pastor of St Paul's Cathedral) who is leading an exploration on the theme 'Making the holy people of God'. The day will close with Festal Evensong and Devotions at 4.15pm. Our Director of Music has invited Chris Muhley and other musicians to augment our own choir for the day.
Sponsored Flower Arrangements: We are introducing the opportunity for you to sponsor one of the flower arrangements in Church, either on the pedestal by the statue of Mary or in the Lady Chapel. A contribution between £10 and £30 is suggested. The flowers could commemorate the memory of a loved one or the anniversary of a happy event. Fr Andrew is happy to help with any aspect of this project including a mention of the dedication in the pew sheet. The sponsor, if they wish, could help select the choice of flowers and colours. Jackie Elson will be pleased to discuss the scope of the flower arrangement with you.
Pilgrimage to Walsingham: We are going to have a day pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham on Saturday 19th July. Full details later but please put the date in your diary now.
