This week Revd. Irene writes:
Thy Kingdom Come this year runs from the 29th of May (Ascension Day) until the 8th of June. The theme is the Lord’s Prayer, and I am delighted that Ann Wilkinson has produced a trail on the Lord’s Prayer for children during these couple of weeks.
Our picture shows Ann busily preparing ‘bags’ for the children that take part. It is a great resource, and I am sure it will be enjoyed by many and that very important prayer that Jesus taught his disciples, and has been passed on to disciples today, will be shared with our young people.
Adults that may be interested in looking at the Lord’s Prayer in more detail are invited to our online bible study held Wednesday evenings between 7:30 and 8:30. All you need to do is go onto the online web page for the Minster and enter teaching. Our next session is 4th June

MINSTER PRAISE
CHRISTIAN AID COFFEE MORNING
It was good to hear about the work of Christian Aid at our Minster
Praise last week. This was followed by a coffee morning which unfortunately was very poorly attended. However, thank you to everyone who did support whether that be by donating cakes or attending.
Our Humber Bridge crossing takes place this weekend. We will let you know the total funds raised this year for Christian Aid after the sponsor money for the Humber Bridge crossing comes in. Irene

GIRLS BRIGADE
It was a pleasure to attend breakfast church on Sunday and be able to award our hard-working girls with their co-operation or working together badge. The girls have been learning about the story of Noah and how we worked with God and family to ensure the survival of many different animals. It has been wonderful to see the girls become a stronger team. The girls did very well with their readings, prayers and of course 'My Lighthouse' a favourite song within the group. It was great to hear Rev Irene preach about loving one another as how I have loved you and how we can out this into practice.
This Tuesday we started with an interesting game of charades, from Frozen, 3 little pigs, Jack on the Beanstalk , Peppa Pig and Gabby's Dollhouse. I’ll let you match the pictures up! It was the last night for our wonderful volunteers who have been working with the girls to make knitted or crochet bunting. Everyone was concentrating on their projects and there is a calm focus to the group whilst learning these wonderful skills. Our youngest member Violet Rose designed and made some felt bunting this evening and they look spectacular! A big thank you to Betty, Becky and Beth and well done to our girls. I am looking forward to showcasing the bunting this at an event later this year.
Please keep our girls in your prayers, as they will be attending Girls Brigade camp at the end of half term. For some this is there first time away from home. I will look forward to sharing our experiences with you. With every blessing, Lauren
JUNIOR CHURCH
The older group at Junior church said goodbye and thank you for Jem’s enormous contribution. We crowned him with the only thing we could find nearby!
We will sorely miss his leadership with the young people, his sense of humour and his generous spirit.
We wish him a wonderful future.
MEN’S GROUP
This is an open meeting and all are welcome.
An opportunity to hear about Tim’s recent visit to Jerusalem. 7.00pm Monday 9th June.
Photograph is The Tower of David. The road leads up to Jaffa Gate and it holds the museum of Jerusalem. Which has been recently up graded.
It’s probably the oldest building in the City.
I went back to take photos of the interior area that has ancient ruins. It’s all part of the talk. Tim
