READERS READERS READERS A meeting for readers on Thursday 15th October at 7pm. Please all readers be present. The Word deserves it, God deserves it. All parishioners deserve it. Also opportunity for new comers to practice. "THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE." There is a great responsibility on all of us to be aware of the above statement. And if it is not true for you then you are not reading the Word with faith. Again I talk about the need for all of us to prepare for mass. Here I make a special plea to our readers to be well prepared. I am working on a new list which some of you will have already received. However we do need to get together for a session and a practice especially for newcomers but all are welcome even more newcomers. Can I say Friday 16th at 7pm. However if you cannot make that session please arrange with me and we can do private session any time. That is how important it is. ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD The tongue is the deadliest of all blunt instruments SCHOOL MASS Next Sunday the 6th year children (all those who hope to go to secondary school next September) will be leading the 10 o'clock mass. Please mums and dads we would like to see you all, some very important issues to discuss HANDY MAN From time to time there are a lot of small jobs to be done around the parish. Many I do myself. However it would be great if there is someone else who is willing and able to do the odd job. Getting in some one cost £50 before you start. So it would be a good saving for the parish. Please let me know. Parish Forum Parish forum on 29th October at 7pm. Your thoughts, ideas and suggestions will be very welcome. Hope to see you. November Dead List Please bring in a list of all those you would like to prayed for before the end of October. These names will be placed on the Altar during the month of November when we pray for all the dead. An American commentator after the Pope’s visit to the USA said “his understanding of politics as a moral enterprise rises above the conservativeliberal debate that animates public policy”.
