Monday 6th October 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 12th October…
is the 17th Sunday after Trinity. Sung Mass, with Sunday School, begins at 10.30am.
Our Gospel reading recounts the healing of the ten lepers, who cry out to Jesus for mercy. Lepers were then thought to pollute the community, so were shunned and ostracized as a result. Yet Jesus heals them. Let us rejoice that his love knows no limits. Let us praise him together this coming Sunday at Mass.

SUNDAY 12 OCTOBER: “SWEARING IN” OUR CHURCHWARDENS
Each parish church elects two Churchwardens. The Churchwardens are Officers of the Bishop and senior lay leaders in the parish, serving as trustees of the charity. They play a vital part in the life of the parish, caring for the church building, the church's ministers, and members of the wider community, as well as countless other important duties. We are very fortunate to have two wonderful churchwardens here at the Annunciation: Steve Phillips and Michael Mohammed. At the end of today’s Mass, Steve and Michael will be “sworn in” once again to continue to serve us this coming year. Thanks be to God for our Churchwardens!

Friday 3rd October 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 5th October…
is our Harvest Thanksgiving. Sung Mass, with Sunday School, starts at 10.30am. Do remember to bring along your harvest offering!
We’re collecting for The Marylebone Project again this year. The Project is the largest women-only hostel in London, providing 112 long-term and short-term beds, as well as a range of services (including a drop-in centre). They need anything in cans or tins or dried food (such as pasta), but it must be non-perishable. And they also need toiletries and new towels. Please remember this when you’re doing your shopping over the coming days.
Let’s celebrate God’s blessings upon us by sharing our good fortune.
