THE BIBLE STUDY GROUP  has been meeting for several years and those who attend profit greatly. God makes Himself known to us through the Scriptures and somebody once said that ignorance of the Scriptures equals ignorance of God. I wonder who said that?

Roger Beavil will be speaking to us this week-end about the Bible Group. Attendance has dropped over the years and Roger will try to inspire a greater attendance for the meetings which start again very soon after the holiday break.

 

CONFESSION AND COMMUNION CLASSES FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN. The classes for the children will begin on Saturday 12th September at 9.00am in the clubroom. The first class for the parents will be on Saturday 3rd October (parents in the cottage next door, Ker Anna, with Deacon Sean). The enrolment service for the families will take place within the 10.00am Mass on Sunday 13th September. The red enrolment forms are in the Narthex, with a list of the dates for this term attached. Please return the completed forms to the Presbytery or bring them along to the first class. For any further information or queries contact Sue Bolton. (343424)

 

TICKETS GO ON SALE THIS WEEK-END  for the CAFOD Project Harvest Lunch which will take place on Sunday 27th September in the Walsingham Hall, you can join us after the 10.00am Mass, lunch will be at 12.00 noon. £6 per adult and £4 per child (5 – 16years).

NORES  (Northampton Office for Religious Education) is running a course in the major areas of Catholic theology which includes modules such as catechetics and religious education, social teaching and pastoral ministry. This course is an excellent way of supporting people who are taking an active interest in parish life and is certainly in line with the changes being introduced by Bishop Peter’s vision. Please consider this important invitation. The parish can provide financial support for anyone wishing to attend. Further information is on the notice board in the Narthex and do ask me if you wish to discuss the idea further. The course is run on a Saturday from 10.00am to 3.30pm and will be held at Luton. Thank you, Celia Sparkes.

 

 MONEY, MONEY.  Offertory £694.28. Retiring Collection £26.15. CAFOD £4.00. God Bless your support and generosity for your Church.
