Each week at St Giles’ Church we pray for all the people who live or work in a particular road in the Parish. During May we will pray for the following roads: 

May 6^th            Aylsham Drive
May 13^th          Cranston Close
May 20^th          Fincham Close
May 27^th          Haslam Close

If you live in one of these roads why not join us at our 8am or 9.45am services?  You will be most welcome.

As Ken Tombs reported in his earlier article, Ickenham enjoyed a busy, and well attended week of Easter events, both in the churches and around the village.  The story unfolded, from the Palm Sunday procession at the URC (complete with some rather large branches and a donkey!), through the Good Friday Walk of Witness to the celebrations of Easter Day.

The story continues: come and hear about it at our regular services!

 

      

 

                   

 

  

Recently the team lost several of its valued volunteers so more are needed even more urgently than usual.  The next Sunday when volunteers are needed to collect patients from wards for Communion services in the hospital chapel is 20^th May, at Hillingdon Hospital.  More dates will be published in future months.  This small service is very much appreciated by patients who have no family available to help them.  To continue this service we need to supplement our regular team with more volunteers to provide cover for unavoidable absences.  Anyone who is prepared to spend a couple of hours on occasional Sunday mornings, please contact Alan Grove on 020 8868 9220.

  

There will be a special Memorial Service at St. Giles’ Church on Sunday 13th May at 3pm for those who are bereaved.  The names of the departed, whose funerals were conducted at the United Reformed Church or by St. Giles' Church staff between the beginning of March 2006 and the end of February 2007, will be read out during the service.

The Reverend Bill White, Chaplain of Hillingdon Hospital, will give a talk.  Members of the churches' Pastoral Support Group will be present.  After the service, the congregation will be invited to have refreshments in St. Giles' Church Hall.

Anyone who would find this service helpful is welcome to attend.
