This is an opportunity for us, as a parish family, to say “thank you” for Father Gordon’s years of devoted ministry among us. If you would like to make a contribution, please put your offering in a Small Gold Envelope at the back of the church and place it in the offertory collection.  Most importantly, we ask you to keep Father Gordon in your prayers as he reaches this significant moment in his priesthood and also invite you to fill out a Prayer Gift Card with your personal prayer intentions for Father Gordon – we intend to give these to him in a keepsake box as a treasured memory of this significant event.  Please place your Prayer Gift Cards in the Large Gold Envelope in front of the Altar. With much appreciate from the Kelvedon Pastoral Parish Council. Many thanks for various offers of help with catering on 26th July—a revised ‘needs’ list is included with this week’s Newsletter.
