Friday 11 July
Concert - "If Music be the Food of Love, Play On"
This is to coincide with the marvellous Flower Festival which will be displayed in the most creative and artistic fashion in St Nicolas Church over the weekend of the Rectory Fete. In accordance with the theme for this festival weekend, we shall begin with a very special concert in church at 7.30 pm on the Friday evening. The Rikkyo School and our local talent from Cranleigh School will be performing some beautiful pieces of music to entertain us. Entry will be free, with a retiring collection. This will be a truly splendid occasion and a wonderful way to begin our weekend of festivities. Do come along, listen to the music and admire the floral decorations, all brought together in our lovely parish church.

Sunday 13 July
Sea Sunday
The guest preacher at our 10.00am Parish Communion will be the Rev'd Tom Heffer.
It's all too easy to forget the seafarers who bring us so much. We rely on them for our food, our petrol and our cars. In fact, in the UK, seafarers are responsible for bringing us over 90% of our daily needs. The Mission to Seafarers reaches out to the 1.2 million seafarers who man the world's merchant fleets with a message of love and hope in a harsh and often inhospitable environment. In over 230 ports worldwide, Mission chaplains and staff visit seafarers on their ships. The Mission operates seafarers' centres in over 100 ports, where crew members can use its telephones and computers to keep in touch with their loved ones thousands of miles away. They also celebrate communion and enjoy fellowship in its chapels, and are able to replenish essential items from its shops. In every one of the Mission's ports, Bibles are handed out in different languages to aid seafarers in their daily walk with God.
On Sea Sunday, please pray for the Mission to Seafarers.

Jill and Marion in Concert
The Rector calls them Hinge and Bracket, but this concert will consist of classical songs and piano pieces, songs from the shows, some solo violin music, as well as a few amusing items performed by Jill Saunders and Marion Tomkins.
It will begin at 7.30pm in the Church Rooms. Tea or coffee and biscuits will be served in the interval, during which there will also be a raffle.
All proceeds are in support of St Nicolas Church funds and tickets, priced at £5.00 each, are obtainable from the Handyman Store, High Street, Cranleigh, some Social Committee members, and Jill or Marion themselves. You are welcome to bring your own wine and nibbles (don't forget wine glasses!), so come along and enjoy an evening of music, fun and laughter.
