Saturday or Sunday Church Welcomers needed. –    Over these past few months, it is lovely to see our church is almost back to normal.    Going forward we have been asked to continue with the meet and greeting of people as they enter our church.  It has been said a friendly smile as they arrive makes newcomers feel at ease, wheelchair, walking aid users and families with pushchairs, say opening doors makes a difference and parishioners of all ages have said its lovely to see.    We can only continue to do this if we have more people to support this wonderful welcome on a Saturday or Sunday mass.  All you need to do is arrive 20mins earlier and depending on the morning it can be hand out hymn books, newsletter or / and Mass service sheet.     If you would like to help please speak to one of the team.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, I pray we all look after each other, as Jesus looks after us. I pray for family and friends, and for our parish we continue to serve. Lord I pray for this world of many challenges, and needing to do things differently to what we would prefer. Lord Jesus I know we are not alone and you are with us. We may not see but we know you will be holding our hands carrying us with your love. Amen
