Thursday 15th May 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 18 May…
is the 5th Sunday of Easter. Sung Mass – with Sunday School – begins at 10.30am.
The first reading on Sunday will describe St Peter’s trance-like vision, and the way in which his understanding of God’s ways was reconfigured by the command to eat what he had previously considered unclean. This vision enabled St Peter to welcome “outsiders” into the early church community – a task that continues to this day. We want to share the good news of Christ’s resurrection with one and all.
Why not invite someone along to church this Sunday? Like St Peter, we want to share the joys of our common life in Christ.
Fr Lincoln

Thursday 1st May 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 4 May…
is the 3rd Sunday of Easter. Our readings describe how the Risen Lord met with the Apostles in different ways, detailing his encounter with both St Peter and St Paul.
Sunday’s readings should give us renewed confidence that Jesus will meet with us through the work of the Spirit in the holy sacrament. We will therefore break bread and share the common cup in faith, rejoicing in the gracious presence of the Resurrected Lord in our midst. Bring all your hopes and fears, triumphs and struggles, blessings and woes to the Lord in prayer. He is surely here for you, just as he was for his first disciples.
Mass begins at 10.30am, with choir, Sunday School, refreshments, and a beautiful liturgy. Do spread the word to neighbours and friends. What we are given is too good to keep to ourselves.
Prayers ascending for you all, and I hope you have a good bank holiday weekend,
Fr Lincoln
