7th January Fifth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Friends,
Peter sees Jesus on the shore as they wash their nets having caught nothing and asks him to try again. They did so under some protest and caught a large number of fish. Peter recognises that he did not understand Jesus though he really believed he did. Have we ever been like that in our judgement of others, even family and friends?
Lent is only around the corner, on March 5th to be precise. There will be NO BAPTISMS during lent.
This week we attended the funeral of Terri Page who was a marvellous servant of the community especially as a cheerful welcomer of families with her good pal Mary Reynolds at Baptism Preparation. This took place at New Milton on Friday 7th. Please pray for her and David Barrows and our prayers for Joan.
We’re looking for volunteers to lead Stations of the Cross at 7.30pm on Fridays during Lent. If you would be willing to do this then please write your name on the sign-up sheet in the Church porch. Your help would be greatly appreciated,
THIS YEAR HAS BEEN DESIGNATED A HOLY YEAR, and the THEME is HOPE.
We can all do with a lot of that!
God Bless you all,
Fr John
