Thursday 18th July 2024Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 21st July …
is the 8th Sunday after Trinity. Sung Mass with Sunday School begins at 10.30am.
Summer holiday approach. The church is always a little quieter once the schools break up, with many of us away visiting family or taking a well-deserved summer holiday. But one thing remains certain: God remains on the move, stirring up his people, and calling us to fulfil our collective vocation to be the holy people of God.
In fact, we often hear God clearest when we get away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday routines, so do keep alert in your prayers wherever you may venture. Listen for the call of God.
And who knows what adventures lie ahead of us all? Maybe it’s a new job, a new course of studies, a new home, or taking on something you never previously imagined? The Holy Spirit has a track record of surprising his people. So do keep watch and pray!

RENEWAL OF PRAYER LIST IN AUGUST
Our Apostolate of Prayer is a vital element in our common life. It is important to pray for those in need. Additions to our prayer list have built up over the last couple of years, and we are no longer certain whether the specific needs persist. Therefore, we will renew our prayer list during August. If you would like someone to be added to the new list (or carried over from the old list), please send their name to Fr Lincoln by the end of August as the new list will be launched in September. Thank you.

Next Wednesday, Nikita Demidenko will perform:N.Medtner - Sonata Night Wind op.25 no.2

Our weekly online service of Compline takes place for the last time on Wednesday, before we take a summer break. Normal service will resume first week in September. Do consider joining us when it restarts, as it’s a lovely way to pray together for family, friends, and the needs of the world.

Sunday 7th July …
is the 6th Sunday after Trinity. Sung Mass with Sunday School begins at 10.30am.
There’s been some wonderful things happening in church recently, with concerts, school events, and heritage events with the deaf community and the school, and of course our Blessing of the War Memorial last Sunday. It’s been great to see so many people visiting the church, many of them for the first time. And it’s exciting to see more events being planned, so do keep an eye on the notices over the coming weeks!
And with so much going on, it’s been good to see so many people volunteering to help out, especially last Sunday where a team of people helped serve and tidy up. I am ever so grateful to everyone for their help, as I am to God for you all.
God bless you this coming week.
Fr Lincoln
