Fifth Sunday of Lent



Dear Friends,

            Just like climbing a mountain, the feeling of achievement only occurs when we can see that all the preparation and effort is rewarded as you look down and see how small the landmarks are in the distance. Sunday of this week is the traditional date for pilgrims from near and far to climb the Hill (Croagh) Patrick in county Mayo. Much preparation is required including some practice at smaller climbs. Despite all that, many people are ill-prepared, and the mountain rescue crews are busy. Climbing the wild mountain side is a metaphor for the season of Lent as we prepare for Easter and the Resurrection. Just ask yourself – have you prepared?

It is that time of the year when the daylight becomes longer and you can have fun. But, especially ask you to put Jesus at the centre of your life. Learn especially to forgive and share with one another. NOT MUCH ELSE MATTERS

  • Lent Penitential Service on Wednesday at 7.30pm. All are welcome.
  • The Andysman Club – Are a peer-to-peer support group for men. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 54. It’s okay to talk. Meetings are held every Monday at 7pm. Please see notice in porch or visit www.andysmanclub.co.uk to find your nearest group.

Bible Alive and Day by Day – The Easter edition of Day by Day (50p per copy) and the April edition of Bible Alive (£1 each) are now available in the church porch.

There will be new signs in certain areas of the car park. Please try and observe them.

Finally, Kate, my grandniece, gave birth to a baby boy last week. My grandnephew, Darac O’Dee is absolutely flying it and enjoying all the attention.

God bless you all,

Father John
