Eco tip: This week, why not help the climate and nature in a very positive way by writing to the Prime Minister? It’s easy to do. Just go to Climate and Nature Bill Campaign. Zero Hour are a volunteer group and have just launched their REAL CHANGE campaign to ensure the government allows MPs time to debate the Climate and Nature Bill when it returns to the Commons on 11th July.
Audio Visual enhancements. During June, Guy Watt will complete the work. This includes upgrading our camera, an additional ‘ambient’ microphone, upgrading our IT equipment and relocating all the controls at the back of church. This should improve the livestream experience for operators and viewers alike.
Litter-picking: Mon 9th June, meet at 10am in the Parish Centre. All equipment will be provided. Ask Christine Bartlett for more details.
Linda Dudley: there will be a memorial service for Linda on Friday 20th June at Caversham Heights Methodist church, starting at 12 noon.
Diocese of Oxford Annual Review. Just out this week: available to read online and a few paper copies at the back of church. A helpful overview of how the Diocese supports the work of parishes.
Regular giving to St Barnabas. We are entirely self-funded, if you consider St Barnabas is your home church, please support our mission and ministry. The best way is to give regularly through the Parish Giving Scheme by clicking here. Or see the ‘Giving’ page on our website. Ask Richard Cunningham (our treasurer) or Revd Kevin for further details.
