Little Weed from the Flower Pot Men
Dear Friends,
Flower Pot Men was a British programme for young children produced by BBC Television. It was first transmitted in 1952, and repeated regularly for more than twenty years. One of the main characters was Little Weed, a wise counsellor to the often foolish flower pot men, Bill and Ben.
But in this week’s parable Jesus talks about separating the wheat and the weeds in the Kingdom of God. The weeds are to be burned and the wheat gathered in. Who are the weeds and who are the wheat? Or is this not what it means?
Find out this Sunday!
The readings for this Sunday will be from Isaiah 44:6-8, Romans 8:12-17, and Matthew 13:24-30, and we will be singing the hymns Immortal, Invisible, God only Wise; All for Jesus; Lord Jesus Christ (Living Lord); and Tell Out My Soul!

IN MEMORIUM
Elena Kelly 21.12.1955 – 15.07.2023
It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of our dear friend, Elena Kelly. She passed away in the US last Saturday having suffered with worsening dementia for four years. Elena worshipped and ministered at All Saints from 2014-2019 and many were inspired by her preaching and her love of life. 
She was an ordained pastor and graduate of Bob Jones University, going on to found a church in Denver, Colorado, where she was the only pastor prepared to perform funerals for the many victims of the AIDS pandemic of the 1980s.
In late life she also explored Hinduism, Buddhism, and Paganism, and had an inspiring ministry to the gay and trans community. She was loved by many people around the world!
She will be greatly missed. But, if there is a God in heaven, Elena will be with her!
