MAKING A DECISION Sometimes
we
are presented with difficult choices and we
put off making a decision because it seems easier to ‘go with the flow’,
and drift through life. Moses sets before the people a choice: God’s word and a
blessing or ignoring God’s word and being cursed. It is like building a house;
it is easier to build on sand than deciding to build on rock, yet only the rock
provides a solid foundation.
BRIGHTLIGHTS 1st – 14th
2011 – Liturgies, speakers, workshops and seminars on our faith, for young
people aged 16 to 30 at Aylesford Priory in Kent. This years
theme is ‘Just Love’. Please take a card from the narthex if interested or
visit www.BRIGHTLIGHTS.ORG.UK
ASH WEDNESDAY Lent begins on Wednesday
9th March. There will be Masses with distribution of Ashes at 9.00am and 8.00pm
and 4.00pm at Ker Maria.
PALM CROSSES Could

leave them in the Narthex for Theresa Aldis and Sue Bolton to collect. The
Catechism group burn last years crosses to make this years
ashes. Thank you.
