Departed: Peter Coney (Priest), John Elton.
V. Lord all pitying, Jesu blest
R. Grant them thine eternal rest.
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 E will be pleased to discuss the
scope of the flower arrangement with you.
Flowers: The flowers in the porch and by the statue of
Mary have been sponsored by Tony and Pam Clayton to celebrate
Tony's recovery from heart surgery.
Request: Professional Christian female needs new home by
the end of June; lodgings/bedsit/ house share etc. I work for
teaching agencies doing support work in schools and nurseries.
Phone or text 07960 971342.
Church Cleaning: Will all those kind people who have volunteered
to clean parts of the church on a regular basis please ensure
that they keep an eye on things as it was obvious on Shrove Tuesday
that some areas appeared to have been neglected. Thank you. Wendy.
Morning Tea on Sundays: Two more people are needed to join
the roster. This is an enjoyable task and one where you are only
required once each two months. If you are able to help, please
speak to Jan Brown after Church, or phone her on 01727 375126.
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.
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.

Notice from Mandy, Richard and Rosy: Mandy, Richard and Rosy
thank you all most sincerely for all your continued prayers. Mandy
and Richard would love you to come and see them getting married here
at 11.00am on Saturday 28th August and join them afterwards for a
celebratory drink in the garden.
Church Flowers: The flowers by the statue of Mary are sponsored
by the Winn family in loving memory of Doreen's mother, Rose Tayler,
born 100 years ago on 22nd July.
Building Work - Update: The good news is that detailed investigation
has shown that there are no major unexpected problems on the south
transept and spire. The builders have now drilled out most of the
old mortar between the bricks and are beginning to re-do it. The window
has been removed. It will be dismantled, re-leaded and put back in
a few weeks time. The tiling on the spire and the lead finial at the
top will be repaired and the woodwork of the spire renewed where necessary.
Please continue to exercise care in and around the building work and
near the scaffolding inside the church.
We look forward to seeing you at the FAB Tea Party on Saturday
7th August. Tickets are now available from the Social Committee, or
sign the list by the Events Board to order one.
Herts & Beds Historic Churches Cycle Ride: On Saturday
11th September between 10am and 6pm many churches in and around St
Albans will be open to greet cyclists who are going round from one
church to another in the sponsored cycle ride. There are details on
the church notice board of the participating churches. You can plan
short or long routes to suit your wishes. Contact John and Sue Myerscough
after church or on 01727 869900 for information and forms.
