Congratulations to Sandy Reed
With the support of the PCC, Sandy was nominated for selection for training as a Licensed Lay Minister (London Diocese's new name for Readers) for our parish. Sandy attended a selection panel last month and this week we heard that she has been accepted to train. The course will be part time, running for three years from September. Well done, Sandy!

Congratulations to Chris Hill
Chris, our youth project senior worker, has been going through the thorough and testing process of discernment of his vocation with the Willesden Area and was recently recommended for training as a Church of England priest. If continuation funding is found for his post, Chris plans to study for two years at St Paul's Theological Centre in London, while continuing to work in this parish. Please pray for Chris and Rachel as he embarks on this exciting next stage of his ministry in God's Church.

Day Visitors to New Wine – Last Chance Today!
Those who are going to New Wine as Day Visitors on Thursday 29th July will be leaving St Joseph’s at 7.00am and will be back in Northolt around midnight. We only have a few spaces left, so today is your last chance for us to book it for you at a reduced cost. After today, anyone else wishing to go will need to pay £25.00 and book it themselves through the New Wine website www.new-wine.org Chris Hill and Simon.

Farewells to church members
We have recently said farewell, thank you and wished God's blessings on Becky Reid,  who has moved to a new home in Thame, Oxfordshire, with her husband. Also Sarah Symons and her family, have moved to Buckinghamshire. Please pray for them all as they settle in new communities and join their local churches.

Thank You
Sue, Wendy and Steve are grateful to everyone from St Joseph’s for your love, support and care over these past few weeks since the death of our Mum, Pam Newbold. Thank you too to everyone who came to Mum’s funeral and a special thank you to all those who helped with the practical arrangements for the service and refreshments. Over £300 was collected at the service and this will be sent, in Pam’s memory, to the British Heart Foundation and Macmillan Cancer Support.
