Clergy Thoughts: On the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A, Mother Church invites us to reflect on how we receive God’s word. The Readings use images of rain, soil, and growth to show the power of His message. God’s word is meant to bring life, but it requires open hearts. Some may struggle to accept it, while others allow it to shape their lives. May this help us to think about our own faith journey and how we can grow closer to God. Amen! Fr Alex

Please pray for the repose souls of Francis Baxter and Michael Worsley who died recently.

March for Life with Bishop Peter on Saturday 5th September in London. Since the 1967 Abortion Act was implemented, over 10.6 million lives have been tragically ended in the womb in the UK. Each one of these was a unique, irreplaceable human being worthy of life and love. The March for Life is more than a march; the day starts with an indoor family festival with talks, music, testimonies, prayer and much more for all ages. We will then unite with thousands of others as we process through the streets of London to Parliament Square to witness to our central message of 'Life from Conception - No Exception!' For more information: marchforlife.co.uk If you are planning on making your own way there, please contact Antonia Braithwaite who will put you in touch with the group from East Anglia: mflcoordinator@rcdea.org.uk

Knitters Aware

Here at Stella Maris, we provide Chaplaincy care for all those who work at sea. We need some keen knitters to assist us in this mission, by knitting woolly hats which can then be given to the seafarers and fisherman we minister to. There is absolutely no preference in colour or style.  Please help us support these workers in their industry. Collection from your home address can be made or any postage fees covered. If you can assist, please let me know.  Many Thanks, Deacon Rick Jones, Port Chaplain to East Anglia,
