CHRIST CHURCH WARWICK – WEEKLY BULLETIN
21 JUNE 2025
IMPORTANT ITEM – THE CALL TO THE VERY REV DR. MARTIN FAIR
Sunday 22 June 2025 is the last day on which the Call to the Very Reverend Dr. Martin Fair will be available to be signed by members and those adherents on the Electoral Register. The Call will be at church, where it will be available on the Communion table at the end of the service. If you are unable, for any reason, to sign the Call in person, you may complete a Mandate, which will allow Session Clerk to sign the Call on your behalf. The Mandate, which was attached to the e-mail sent out on Sunday 8 June, is again attached here, for the convenience of anyone unable to sign the Call. Any signed Mandates must be received (electronically) by Sunday 22 June 2025. The Kirk Session is keen that as many members and voting adherents as possible add their names, to indicate their support for Rev Fair. The wording of the Call is provided below.
The Call reads as follows:
We, members and adherents of the Church of Scotland and of the congregation known as Christ Church, Warwick, being without a minister, address this Call to be our minister to you, the Very Rev Dr. Martin Fair, of whose gifts and qualities we have been assured, and we warmly invite you to accept this Call, promising that we shall devote ourselves with you to worship, witness, mission and service in this parish, and also to the furtherance of these in the world, to the glory of God and for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

REQUEST FROM FABRIC CONVENER
Fabric convener John Ferris is looking for volunteers to help paint the exterior of the church, and for a volunteer (or volunteers) to wash down all exterior cedar doors every three months. Washing the varnished cedar with soapy water prevents mould from growing and extends the life of the varnish, saving church resources by reducing the needed frequency of costly cedar refinishing work.
