Communication within the churches and to the wider community is important, and two publications serve to do this.

Weekly Newssheet 
The Newssheet has run for many years as a way for the Rector, Committees and individual parishioners to tell everyone else any news, information, etc. It is an A4 sheet folded to A5 size produced weekly for each Sunday. The newssheet generally has the following format:

The front always gives the services for the current Sunday and the following Sunday for both Churches. It includes the normal services and also Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals. It gives also the Readings and the Collect for the current Sunday.

Inside (pages 2- 3 and onto page 4) shows the immediate diary for the next 3-4 weeks and any advance notices of meetings, events, etc. including any notes of explanation followed by general notices and special messages (of appreciation, etc.)

The back contains concerns for prayer, especially requests for prayer for the bereaved; those preparing for marriage; parents and Godparents of those to be baptised and for friends or family who have special needs, e.g. ill-health. When space allows we enjoy sharing someone’s choice of prayer, verse or hymn.

Contributions are put in a folder at the rear of St Martin’s church by 11am on the Thursday preceding the Sunday service, or may be sent by email before Friday lunchtime or phoned to the editor by the deadline.
