Collect for the Fifth Sunday after Trinity
(20 July)
Almighty and everlasting God,
by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church
is governed and sanctified:
hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people,
that in their vocation and ministry
they may serve you in holiness and truth
to the glory of your name;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Metal Recycling
At Christ Church and St John's we are collecting old keys to be recycled. Please place
in the box at the back of the church.

Fun and Games Toddler Group
We have very much enjoyed running Fun and Games at St John's Hall. We have made some good friends among local
parents and children. We have sadly decided to end this project due to a change of staff at Griffiths Road Methodist
Church and no one to take over from within the Merton Priory Team. Our final joint venture will be the Summer
Holiday Club for Merton Abbey School.

Singing Together
If you are interested in helping with music at services on an occasional basis, we are looking
for more people to join our list of musicians. Solos, groups, all ages and all instruments welcomed!
If you are interested in finding out more, please get in touch with
Mark or
Alison.

meet Mary and bring ideas about future patterns: frequency, timing, venue and crucially suggestions for content.
All are welcome!
