DISCERNMENT OF GIFTS AND SERVICE
“Your role and mission in the Church”
A day of reflection, prayer, fellowship, teaching, and workshops to help you know how you can use your gifts in the service of God and your neighbour. Run by the Diocesan Mission for Catechesis team and the Dominican Sisters of St Joseph, at St Alban’s Parish Hall, Macclesfield on Saturday 26 November from 10am -5pm. Please bring a packed lunch. To book, contact lisa.martinez@dioceseofshrewsbury.org
MARY’S MEALS
I get a request from some charitable cause every single day, but one you might be interested in is Mary’s Meals, which provides sustenance for 2.25 million children all over the world. They have had an offer, that any donations they receive up till January 31, will be matched, and therefore doubled. See notice board for details.
READINGS AT MASS
Surprisingly, not all Jews believed in the afterlife. The idea gained a boost during the latter years BC, when the people were subjected to hardship by their Greek overlords. Many died bravely fighting under the Maccabees for freedom. It was regarded as surely unthinkable that they would not rise again. Jesus answers the Sadducees with a positive answer, i.e. that the patriarchs were still alive.
PLEASE PRAY FOR
Pleas pray for the repose of the soul of Betty Shaw, of Cherry Tree Avenue, who died recently. May she rest in peace.
