The Sunday prayer:-

Come Holy Spirit, to all baptised in your name,

Give us passion, give us fire;

to what you have created it to be.
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Acle Church Hall: Jill Page is retiring from handling the hall bookings (thank you, Jill, for 11 years of service) so a replacement is needed. She writes: It involves monthly invoicing and bi monthly committee meetings – about 7 hours involvement each month. Very basic computer skills required but I learnt as I went along. It is quite a fun role and you meet lots of people and get involved in village life. I am very happy to discuss it with anyone who is interested (tel 751125).
