Singing for Fun [ ] Pop-in Coffee [ ] REFLECTION Christian unity is an elusive thing: it is work in progress and always has
been. Jesus evidently knew that, for at the Last Supper he both predicts and strives to
prevent the kinds of divisions that have wracked and wrecked the church for centuries. It
The Planned Giving Scheme [ ] is perhaps no surprise then that we still have to live with the stigma of separate
communion, and so must continue to humbly pray Christs prophetic prayer ourselves.

REVIVE AT ST. MARYS, NORTH STAINLEY
A new style of church service starts this month in North Stainley. 'Revive' runs on the 2nd
and 4th Sundays of the month at 4pm and will normally be led by the Reverend Nick
Morgan. The service will be more informal in style than our Sunday morning services
and... well, rather than us trying to describe it, why not come along and find out? The
service is suitable for all ages (this does not mean it is only aimed at children, though, by
any means). This is in addition to North Stainley's regular Sunday morning services (1st
and 3rd Sundays of each month) which continue as before. The first services are at 4pm on
June 11th & 25th and July 9th in St Mary's Church, North Stainley. All welcome.
ACTS 1: 6-14
So when they had come together, they asked him, Lord, is this the time when you will re-
store the kingdom to Israel? He replied, It is not for you to know the times or periods that
the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit
has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth. When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted
up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up
towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, Men of Ga-
lilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up
from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a
sabbath days journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs
where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas,
Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son
of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain
women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.
JOHN 17: 1-11
After Jesus had spoken these words, he looked up to heaven and said, Father, the hour has
come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him author -
ity over all people, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal
life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I
glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. So now, Father, glori-
fy me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world ex-
isted.
I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were
yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that
everything you have given me is from you; for the words that you gave to me I have given
to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they
have believed that you sent me. I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of
the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. All mine are
yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. And now I am no longer in
the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in
your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.
