FOODBANK DONATIONS: There is a comprehensive list of requested items at the back of Church (including tinned foods & household goods). Please keep the donations coming, as stocks are running low and demand is increasing more and more. Thanks to everyone for all the donations, both of goods and money!
TOGETHER IN PRAYER: Is at 7pm on Sunday, March 9th at Park Road Baptist Church. See poster.
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER 2025: Once again the annual service of the World Day of Prayer will be held on Friday March 7th. The service will be held at the Salvation Army Headquarters at 1:30pm in the hope that many more will be able to attend. Tea/Coffee will be served after the service which has been prepared by Christian Women of the Cook Islands with the theme “I made you wonderful”. This theme crops up throughout the service as well as in the hymns that have been chosen for the day with one having been especially composed for this service. Once again it promises to be an interesting service with an insight into the lives of the people of the Cook Islands. As the service lasts for only about an hour, it would be nice for as many as possible to attend in view of the fact that the WWP Committee work very hard to ensure that the proceedings are successful.
DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM: This year our diocesan pilgrimage to Walsingham takes place on Saturday June 14th. The pilgrimage will begin with Mass at the Basilica in the Catholic Shrine at midday followed by lunch and at 3pm pilgrims process from the Shrine, on the holy mile to the Abbey Grounds for the final service. Parish groups are welcome to attend and encouraged to bring parish banners with them for the procession.
CAFOD’S FAMILY FAST DAY: Is on Friday, March 14th. This Lent, CAFOD highlights the resilience of Lokho’s community in Kenya, where, after years of drought, local farmers rebuilt their livelihoods with support from Caritas and CAFOD donations. Your generosity helps provide seeds, tools, and training, fostering long-term sustainability. As we work for peace, food security, and debt relief worldwide, we invite you to support our Family Fast Day appeal and join us in prayer and action for a more just world. See next week for how you can donate.
