Free prayer for those with exams?!

If you’re lucky enough not to be taking exams please sign up on the same sign up sheet by a students name and take down their contact details - then contact them and get the exam timetable, find out any they’re particularly worried about etc and get praying! And don't worry if all the students get taken, the more people praying the better!

Roadworks on the Forest Road

Traffic coneIf you've seen the signs, you'll know that from Monday 19th May part of the Forest Road is shut so that gas pipes can be replaced.  Although the Forest Road going into town will be shut, it will not be shut until after Emmanuel Church, allowing full access as usual (although after leaving the church most cars will have to turn right).  Work s estimated to take five weeks and is part of the M1 Gas Alliance.

New Student Pastor

Joey GraverWe are pleased to announce that during Evening Praise on Sunday 8th June Joey Graver will be commissioned as our new Student Pastor. Building on her DNA and OnLine years, including her co-ordination of the student mentoring scheme and her leadership of iD: the new student community, Joey will now takeover from me day to day development, strategy and oversight of our work with students at Loughborough University, Loughborough College and the RNIB College. She’ll work the equivalent of two days per week, initially for nine months. The post is voluntary and was recently agreed by the Church Council.

 

Joey says, “I’m excited by this amazing opportunity to facilitate people going deeper with God during their time at uni or college. I see my role as helping to equip students for the challenges they face; not being afraid to face up to the difficult issues and knowing more of Jesus’ love.” Please do pray for Joey. Joey can be contacted HERE.

Adult baptism and reaffirmation time...

Hands lifted up in praiseDuring Evening Praise on Sunday 8th June (6:30pm), they’ll be an opportunity to be baptised or to reaffirm your baptism (recommit yourself to God) by full immersion in a special baptism tank. If you’d be interested in either being baptised or reaffirming your baptism, or would like to find out more please do chat with or e-mail David Newman, Helen Newman or Barry Hill.  They'll be a preperation time sometime in the week or two beforehand, so if you're unsure you'd be welcome to come to the prep time and then decide.  The service will also include a time of prayer and commissioning for students leaving the university or colleges this summer and will be followed by a little party - more details to follow...

PARISH WALK - Thursday 12th June

South Leicestershire – ‘The Langtons’. Beautiful countryside. Carry picnic. Start 10am at STONTON WYVILLE (Grid reference 738947). A short climb to start with, then gently undulating fields with many stiles. Designed to be a leisurely walk with a lunchtime drinks stop at a pub at East Langton. (No meals are being booked). Length about 6½ miles.

There are no toilets at the start or finish.

The walk will finish about 2.30pm. Possible then to travel to Hallaton for tea.

Please let me know if you intend to come so that we don’t set off without you.

Contact Roger Willson via the Parish Office HERE

Roger's suggested routes:

1. I usually go via Queniborough, then eastwards to join the B6047 Melton to Harborough road. Follow this through Tilton, across the A47, then on to Tur Langton where you turn left for Stonton Wyville. There is no loo at all this way there. Stonton Wyville is a small settlement. I suggest you park on an unmade road to the right at the cross roads, below Langton Caudle, a prominent hill. Allow about an hour to get there.

2. If you feel you need a loo, travel via Leicester, then head south on the A6 and at Kibworth turn right at the Coach and Horses. A short way along is the parish church, St WiIfrid's, on the left. I have arranged that we can use the church hall loos from 9.30. Car park opposite. Just say that you are part of the Emmanuel walking group. Best to be comfortable!! From the church, drive back to the A6 and take the road almost opposite: a short way on it is a right turn to Tur Langton. At the B6047 there is a slight right and then left. Stonton Wyville is the first village out on this road.

June Lunchtime Concert - The 10th Anniversary Finale
