Parish Feast Day lunchtime BBQ Sunday 20th July.
11-14 YR OLDS Mon 11th August - Thursday 14th August Parish trip to Faith Summer Break – This is a fruitful, well supervised time of fun & faith at Woldingham School, Surrey. See Fr Hugh.
15 -30 Yr OLDS FAITH SUMMER SESSION – Mon 4th August – Friday 8th August Quality talks in a holiday atmosphere at Woldingham School, Surrey. Fr Hugh is leading a group.
Sunday evening small choir: The 6:30 pm mass has been developing a musical flavour. If you’ve notice, we hope it has been of help in your devotion. Any musician and singers are very welcome to help out.
DRESS IN CHURCH: As the weather gets hotter, it can be a great idea to go to the Park after Mass. We would ask all to keep the distinction in terms of dress. More modest dress during the Sacred Liturgy than what might be worn for outdoor recreation is one of the symbolic ways we help each other all to concentrate on the coming of Christ for us through sacramental signs and symbols. As a sign says outside a Church in Schio, Italy: “The body has its own language too!” Thank you.
Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill ‘progress’: At the end of the “committee stage” pro-abortion MPs have just tabled amendments to the Abortion Act via the HFE bill. These would move us towards Abortion-on-demand before 24 weeks. This would of course be just yet another step in the instrumentalization of human life to which the dominant culture of our land is increasingly attached. As ever the crucified Christ in his Church, out of love for all men and women of whatever age and strength, rejects such a move and witnesses to the truth about love amidst the increasing decadence of our political and media culture. We should be confident that history and His Father will vindicate this stand. So please ask our M.P. to vote against these amendments.
OUTREACH NO.2: We are considering putting up a stand-alone notice board outside the church, near the pavement to develop the accessibility of our notice space, a service to all, and perhaps reaching those not necessarily think of actually coming into the church.
Also we are considering updating our large maroon Church wall sign.
Anyone able to sponsor either of these would have a small prayer request for them and/or others somewhere on the noticeboard.
