Good Morning and welcome to our Sunday Mass today. We thank Fr Peter Hudson for celebrating Mass with us last week; and for the goodly help we got, and numbers attending here. Thank you to the congregation. As we keep up our prayers, and good works, for the Middle East and the Holy Land, we re-iterate the call of Pope Francis for an end to these hostilities. ‘In the end we are all defeated by war, and war begets more bloodshed beyond its bounds’. That can be prayer for our world during the Peace before Communion at Mass today and every day.

Good Morning and welcome to our Sunday Mass today. We especially thank Fr Peter Hudson for offering to celebrate Mass with us today.

I would like to thank so many of the PCC for attending last Sunday. To Matthew who kindly took the minutes and to all who helped the church with their presence and contribution. At this time of loss, our own bereavements in our community I am especially grateful for the support of the PCC. We laid Raphael to rest on Friday and it was so good to see many from the Sunday Mass attend here, as well as from the wider parish.

We continue our Daily Office here and Mass this week for Peace in the Middle East and for the end of hostilities in Gaza; for the lifesaving aid to get through to its citizens and the most vulnerable among them.

The Twenty Eighth Sunday of the Year Yr. A  Psalter/Daily Office Book Wk. 4

Sung Mass 11.00am

A PCC after Mass   All PCC members are politely requested to attend

Good Morning and welcome to our Sunday Mass today. The gospel continues with St Matthew’s Parable of the last things. The Wedding Feast can be thought of as our own baptism and how we respond daily to the love and grace of God’s Spirit, even in a world of war, terror and bloodshed. Usually those who were trusted or esteemed in the gospel are brought low through a power greater than themselves.

Last week we prayed for peace, knowing almost certainly it wouldn.t happen. Do we still pray? Do we still encourage those who seek peace in the Middle East. Whatever goes on, we must pray for those who are the innocent victims of war. We pray for the end to these terrible events in the Middle East before they begin to cause widespread war, fear and social hostility.

 Requiescat in Pace We are sorry to announce the death of Mr Rahman Michael Salami who was found on 2^nd September 2023 at home. (Aged 86) Raphael’s Funeral Service is on the 20^th October at 11.00am St Chad’s Church. There is a reception in the Hall afterwards. All invited by the family
