Readings – Comments on today’s Bible readings.
Acts: St Luke recalls for us the address of St. Peter where he declares the life and death of Jesus as well as His resurrection. “Everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of their sins”.
Colossians: St. Paul declares Jesus “sitting at God’s right hand”.
Gospel John: John tells the story of Easter morning. The visit of Mary of Magdala to the tomb and how he, Peter and other disciples run to find that their story is true.
The risen Jesus continues to take His followers by surprise. He reveals himself in quiet and simple
encounters that enrich His people, especially in the breaking of Bread.
ESPECIALLY IN TIMES OF GREAT DISTRESS WE SHOULD PRAY WITH JESUS IN THE GARDEN OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. WE PRAY THIS YEAR ESPECIALLY FOR PEACE AND FOR HEALING. ALSO, THAT THE TROUBLES IN UKRAINE AND ISRAEL WILL END AND THAT GOOD HEALTH WILL BE ENJOYED BY ALL.

NOTICES:
APPRECIATION: As we celebrate the joy of the Risen Lord this season of Easter, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to all the dedicated volunteers who make our parish community thrive. Your selfless service, kindness and generosity are a testament to the love of Christ that binds us together.
We thank the parish social group, the sacristan’s, liturgical ministers, (ministers of Holy Communion, altar servers, readers, choir, weekday music operators, organist, coordinator of the children’s liturgy, prayer leaders), welcomers, counters, cleaners, piety stall keepers, food bank coordinators, gardeners, florists, first aiders, safeguarding representative, and all those who help in various ways to keep the parish alive and active. Your efforts bring hope, comfort and joy to our parish family and beyond.
As we look towards a better future, we invite more members to join us in serving our community. Whether you have a few hours a month or a specific skill to share, your contribution can make a significant difference. Let us continue to support one another and grow in faith, hope and love. May the risen Christ fill our hearts with joy, peace, and gratitude. Wishing you and your loved one’s a blessed and Happy Easter.
Join us: if you are interested in volunteering or learning more about our parish programs, please send a message via the parish email above. We look forward to welcoming you to our team.
CONGRATULATIONS: We congratulate and welcome Richard Whitehead; (chosen baptismal name of Augustine) who just received the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. We pray that your faith will always grow stronger and that you shall persevere till the very end. Please, kindly make him feel welcome into our community. Thank you.
GOOD FRIDAY CHILDREN’S LITURGY: We thank Joanne, Jenny and Samantha for organising the lovely children’s liturgy group and taking the children through the Easter story. All the children were attentive and enjoyed placing their flowers on the cross. Many thanks to parents for bringing the children along, especially knowing how busy you must be at this time.
DROYLSDEN FOOD BANK: The current shortfalls in stock are -cereal, tinned fruit, tinned meat and fish, tinned veg, long life milk, cordial, biscuits, jam, shampoo, shower gel. THANK YOU and Happy Easter from the Food Bank.
BBQ – SUNDAY 4th MAY: We hope to include one of our very popular TOMBOLA STALLS, for which we will have to rely on your generous donations of Bottles and Chocolates once again. We have placed a box for your gifts in the church entrance.
ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL FURTHER UPDATE: Angela Rayner confirms that she did not vote for the Bill and reading between the lines she does not support the bill with the present amendments. She does however, specify that there is likely to be more amendments introduced to protect the vulnerable. Therefore, we can assume that there is a possibility that she along with others, could eventually vote for it. The third reading of the Bill is scheduled for 16th May which only gives us a few weeks to let her know our concerns about this Bill.
Please send in one of the post cards complete with your name and address or send her an email to [email protected] you will find her reply from the House of Commons, informative.
