PLEASE PRAY for all those who volunteer to help others, giving their time and talents without financial reward. We are blessed to have so many people in our Parish who volunteer gladly to help us do God’s work and we ask for the Holy Spirit to inspire us all to do what we can – however small – to show to others that they are known and loved by God.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – John 1: 29-42 – Jesus, the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the word, grant us peace in our world.

Please remember our Food Bank. People in our community are in geniuine need. You can call the dedicated number 07564 764137 to find out what items are needed and then donate at Morrisons, the Co-op, or direct to the Crossroads Centre between 10 and midday, Monday to Friday.
