ON THIS PEACE SUNDAY
Pope
Benedict has asked that we reflect on the
theme: “Religious Freedom, the Path to Peace” We are all fellow pilgrims on the
road of life and all have a fundamental right and duty to live our lives in
freedom. Sometimes society paints Christians and religions as being causes of
conflict. They say look at the Crusaders in Middle East, sectarian rivalries,
look at what’s happening in
THIS WEEKENDS RETIRING COLLECTION is for Pax Christi who’s work is based
on the Gospel and inspired by faith, they run workshops in schools and youth
organisations spreading the word of peace, their vision is one of “a world
where people can live in peace, without fear of violence in all its forms” If
you would prefer to place your donation in an envelope there are Pax Christi envelopes in the Narthex.
PARENT AND TODDLER GROUP This group usually meet
on Tuesday mornings in the Clubroom,
however, there have been some weeks when there has not been a meeting. Is there
anyone who would be prepared to take on the task of co- ordinating
this group and become key holder ? It would be a shame
to lose such a facility from our parish.
CHRISTIAN UNITY WEEK A service for
Christian Unity is being held at the
Baptist Church on Tuesday 25th January at 7.45pm. Pope Benedict
stressed, during his recent visit, the importance of Christian Unity and it
would be great if a good number of St Teresa’s parishioners were able to
attend.
PLEASE PICK UP YOUR RENEWAL ENVELOPES for St Teresa’s Church Development Draw,
they are in the Narthex and need to be returned before the 1st of
February.
If you are not in the
Draw but would like to enter, there are pink forms to be completed and returned
in the Narthex. To become a member it costs just £20 a year for one entry, each
month £30 for 1st and £20 for 2nd prize are awarded, but
twice a year the prize money increases to £100 for 1st and £30 for 2nd
prize. Proceeds go toward church building and development needs.
RETIRING COLLECTION FOR 29th AND 30th
JANUARY We have now received an
estimate for the work that needs to be done to the Presbytery roof, at the
moment it stands at £2450.00. The Retiring collection specifically for Church
Building Work will be the last weekend in January, thank you.
PLEASE PRAY FOR our
young Confirmation Group who will be attending The Lumos
weekend Retreat this weekend, pray also for their parents and the good people
of this parish who guide them through their Faith journey.
LAST WEEKEND
Peter Neal was received into full Communion and was received into the
Catholic church. Peter would like to express his
thanks to all the kind people who sent cards of greetings and welcome, and
particular thanks to his sponsor Rex Kidd for his continuing help. Deo Gratias.
