READINGS AT MASS   John’s gospel starts with a prologue in which he says ‘And we saw his glory, the glory of God the Father, full of grace and truth’. Peter also bears witness to seeing Jesus transfigured. The author of the book
of Revelation describes his vision of ‘the one of great age’ and ‘one like a son of man’. They were privileged to have this glimpse of what Jesus is really like.

PLEASE NOTE: –

There are less services this week – only those mentioned above.

Also the landline 752224 ceases to be operative on Friday. Fr David Long’s number is 01565 633040 and his e-mail is
longdv1@aol.com if you wish to contact him.

SUNDAY CHILDREN’S LITURGY:  It would be fantastic to bring back the popular
Sunday Children’s Liturgy. This used to take place in conjunction with the start of 10.30 Mass and conclude with the children bringing the offertory to Father and re-joining their parents. It’s a lovely time for the children
where they can meet new friends and take part in drawing and reading. We would like to set up a meeting early September for any volunteers who would like to help. We need at least 2 adults to run the class so if that’s all we have, we can only run the class
on the first Sunday of the month. However, if we could get a pool of 6 or more we can possibly run the class every Sunday and rotate the responsibility which would be ideal. Please do consider getting involved.  Contact Lindsey on 07722 629713 or Rowena on
07974 006323.
