Rev Jenny’s Ordination Service

There is a sign-up sheet at the back of church for anyone who would like to attend Rev Jenny’s Ordination Service at Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 27th June at 10:30am. If you would like to come, please add your name indicate whether you can offer a lift or need a lift, and we will coordinate transport. The service begins at 10:30am. Please do continue to pray for Rev’d Jenny.

On Sunday 28th June Rev’d Jenny will celebrate her first Eucharist as a priest. This is a joyful and great occasion. Please do come along. There will be a shared lunch at The Unity Centre after the service. Please do sign up at the back of church for this and add your contributions.

Rectors Tea

This year we will have one Rectors Tea so we can all be together. Fr. Neil is grateful that Viv and John Mitchell have agreed to host it so we can all fit! Please put 12th July in your diaries and come along between 2.30-4.30 for tea at 84 Tinwell Road and then join us for Choral Evensong at 5.30. Please note, there will be a raffle, with some great prizes. There is a sign up sheet at the back of church so we know numbers. Look forward to seeing you there. Fr. Neil

Christian Responses to AI - Discussion Session (1st August, 2-5pm in church)

On 1st August, we will be hosting a discussion about Christian responses to AI in church, from 2-5pm. The session will be divided into two parts, with an introductory talk (30 mins) followed by Q&A about the "state of the (fast-advancing) field of AI" from David Stubbs, who is head of AI at a local software company. He is very knowledgeable about the field but has a keen eye for the deeper philosophical questions that AI poses. This will help to get us all on the same playing field in terms of our knowledge of current developments. We will break for coffee and cake, and then use Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas as a kickstart for our discussion about how we as Christians could and should respond to the challenges and opportunities AI poses. You don't need to read all of the encyclical (although feel free!); if you could read the Introduction and Chapter 3 that would be ideal, and Chapter 4 if possible. You can find the link to the Encyclical here. Don't worry if you don't have time to read it - just come anyway. 

St John’s Garden

St John’s Quiet Churchyard will be open now for visitors every Friday until July, from 11am until 3pm. 

Communion

If getting to the altar to receive communion is a problem, please speak to one of the wardens at the start of the service and you can receive communiuon in the pew.

When you receive Communion please do not dip the host into the cup. You may receive in one kind. Fr. Neil
