POLITE NOTICE:
Please do not touch any of the electrical sockets at the back of church or in the church porch. Some parishioners have attempted to switch off the heaters at the back of the church and have inadvertently switched off the SumUp contactless donation machine, preventing parishioners from making a donation. Please see a member of parish staff or a church volunteer if you need assistance with anything in the church. Thank you.
PARISH HALL:
Will all groups who use the hall please make sure that all the rubbish and recycling has been put into the correct bins outside before you leave. Thank you
PENSION CREDIT
Up to 850,000 pensioner households may be entitled to Pension Credit, but do not claim it. Some pensioners think because they’ve got savings or own their home they would not get any Pension Credit - but this is not the case.
The Department of Works and Pension have produced some videos to explain pension credit and how to use the pension credit calculator.
RECEIVING CHRIST IN HOLY MEALS
THINKING AFRESH ABOUT EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATIONS
Webinar on Thursday 24th October 2024 at 7.30pm
The Society for Ecumenical Studies are offering another in their series of webinars, this time focused on the eucharist.
The holy meal at the heart of Christianity has not infrequently been a source of contention among Christians. This webinar seeks to step behind the discussions and to explore the shared experience of meeting Jesus together in this meal, considering not just how he comes to be present with us but how we come to be present with him. The speakers will be: Dr Racheal Adebayo – Redeemed Christian Church of God, Fr. Dominic Robinson, SJ – Roman Catholic Church and Major Paul Hilditch – Salvation Army.
The cost is £5;
It is free to members of the Society. All queries should be sent directly to the Society for Ecumenical Studies. More information and the booking link can be found here.
