HARVEST RETIRING COLLECTION
Today, Sunday 5 October, at the end of Mass, we hold a retiring collection in aid of the work of our food bank here in Brighton, an important cause that we have supported previously.
You can find out more by clicking on this link: http://www.brightonfoodbank.org.uk/how-can-you-help/.
RAFFLE & SHERRY SUNDAY
Also, after Sunday Mass, we hold the raffle for this month, the proceeds of which go to support church funds.
PRAYING THE HOLY ROSARY
We meet again at 6pm on Monday 6 October at St Bart’s to pray together the Luminous Mysteries. All are welcome as we join our prayers with those of Blessed Mary.
THE LEGACY OF NICAEA LECTURE
We are invited to The Chapel Royal for 7pm on Friday 10 October to hear The Revd Dr Susan Durber, a United Reformed Church minister and prominent member of the World Council of Churches, speak on the legacy of the First Council of Nicaea, whose 1700th anniversary we and all Christians are keeping this year.
UPCOMING PARISH LUNCH
On Sunday 19 October, we keep the Feast of Dedication here at St Paul’s. Following the Mass, we will be having a Bring and Share lunch. Individuals will be approached about
what they are able to bring to this lunch. All are welcome to this lunch; we ask that if you will not be donating anything for this, then a donation of £5 per person is given on the day.
FUNERAL PLANS
Fr Thomas has lately met with several parishioners to discuss their funeral plans and to be given a record for safe keeping for when the time comes. Having something in writing not only gives us peace of mind but can also help those who will make such arrangements happen, especially if they are not familiar with what a Christian funeral comprises. If, then, you would appreciate the chance to meet with him, please do be in touch.
CHURCH WATCHING
We are incredibly blessed here at St Paul’s to be able to have our church building open for several hours each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This is only possible thanks to the selflessness of our team of church watchers, two of whom are always on duty when the building is open to the public. It would be good to expand this team, and so if you might be able to give some of your time to the very worthwhile cause of enabling more people to experience the beauty of holiness here, please have a word with Fr Thomas. Even if you feel you can only give time on an irregular basis, perhaps to cover one of our existing team being on holiday, your contribution would be much appreciated.
APPEAL FROM OUR FOOD BANK
Our city’s food bank is in considerable need of more donations. We have been asked to flag the particular need for tinned meat, fish, tomato and vegetables as well as pasta, rice, tinned fruit, tinned desserts and instant coffee. Supporting the needy is an integral part of our Christian discipleship, so if you can offer some help, please take your donations to the food bank, which is located at the Calvary Church, BN1 4NJ. Alternatively, if you wish to donate a sum of money for the food bank to then spend on what they need, you can do so using the link: http://www.brightonfoodbank.org.uk/how-can-you-help/.
