TODAY: [1] On the 29th Sunday of Year C we celebrate Jesus the teacher of persevering prayer and the bearer of the justice of God. He teaches us to persevere both in prayer and in demanding justice for all in our world – there is no hope of real peace in the Middle East with building authentic justice, security and freedom for all the peoples and especially Palestine and Israel. Keep praying!
[2] It is World Mission Sunday with the theme ‘Missionaries of Hope among all Peoples’ in this Jubilee Year of Hope. We too are called ‘Proclaim the Good News – welcome or unwelcome’! A Retiring Collection for ‘Missio’ – the world-wide fund for the missionary work of the Church. Please be generous.
[3] Mass the the LGBTQ+ community & friends at 3.00pm – all are welcome
NEXT SUNDAY: [1] With the 30th Sunday of the Year C we celebrate Jesus the bearer of God’s infinite and unconditional mercy. But are we open to receive HJis mercy? Do we recognise our constant need for the mercy, compassion and understanding of God? He gives us His mercy without reserve – but are we open to recognise our need and receive His Mercy? We are a Church of sinners, seeking to become saints!
[2] We have the joy of celebrating Baptism with our children. Please pray for them and their families.
PRAY FOR THIS WEEK’S PARISH MINISTRY OR MISSION We pray today for the work and Mission of our Borderlands Charity – from exclusion to Belonging. Since the year 2000 our parish has been involved in serving and accompanying the refugee and asylum community. We set up this Charity about 12 years ago to resource and develop this Mission and over the years many of our community have volunteered with Borderlands. One of the Trustees of the Charity are parishioners. An independent Charity, Borderlands is a most valued partner organisation as we continue to serve and rejoice in our refugee and asylum community and friends..
DIOCESAN PRAYER The Diocese prays today for parishes in Communion for Mission of St Gerard Majella, Knowle and Christ the King, Know West served by Fr George Henwood (on sick leave), Canon Michael McAndrew, Fr Michael Akene (newly arrived from Nigeria and resident in Christ the King presbytery serving the South Bristol partnership) and both their communities.
