Welcome

26th June, Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Friends,

In Luke’s Gospel today we have a realistic image of Jesus’ call to those who hear it, usually indirectly in our time: “Come follow me.”
For the most part it’s through adults, usually parents and family, that young children hear this call. It takes the form of having the child baptised before they can ask questions or give assent. This is fine if they are going to have the life of Jesus and his values explained at home and very often with the help and support of a school community. But it must be said that no child should be baptised because the local Catholic school has a good reputation for teaching and a safe place for the child. The expectation placed on a child’s shoulders should be zero at that stage even though this child might well be the reason a parent or parents renew, refresh or maybe even for the first time take a serious look at the life of Jesus and the reason to have a spiritual relationship with Jesus and His values. This journey is exactly what was being explained by Jesus to those who were enquirers in his day – there is a cost, but it is not usually measured in money, but in the demands on your time and the challenges you will encounter in life. Let us help each other to meet those challenges and pray for all who are trying.

Wearing of Face Coverings in Church
This is now voluntary but please respect the choice other people make.
Eucharistic Ministers please continue to wear face coverings when distributing Holy Communion.

Frimley Baptist Church is hosting a performance by Riding lights theatre Company, on Saturday 9^th July, of a play called “My Place”. Its theme focuses on fostering and adoption. It starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost £10 for adults and £8 for under 16s. The play is suitable for 11+. More details, including a promo clip, at www.ridinglights.org/my-place/.

More Mass Co-ordinators needed, particularly for the 6pm Mass on Saturdays and the 8:30am Mass on Sundays.
If you’re able to volunteer as a mass coordinator (even if it’s just on an occasional basis) then please email Helen at frimley@abdiocese.org.uk or phone 01276 504876, letting Helen know which weekend Mass you can help.
The role of the Mass co-ordinator is central to assisting with the smooth running of Mass. The main aim is to ensure that the altar, the church and those in other ministries are present and prepared. Full training will be provided.

Please be reminded of the following
 
While the word “Guidance” seems to be taken by many as you can do as you please, may I suggest that we adopt the following at church for some time.

1. Sanitize your hands as you enter and leave.
2. Wearing a face covering is now voluntary and please respect the choice other people make. Eucharistic Ministers – please continue to wear face masks when distributing Holy Communion.
3. If you have COVID symptoms, please DO NOT COME to participate in Mass while they persist.
4. For Holy Communion please approach from the middle aisle with the exception of those on the chairs who will come forward first please.

Important – Driving to Church: A reminder – if you drive to the church. When leaving, please remember ONLY TURN LEFT onto the main road. DO NOT turn right – it is not only prohibited but very risky and dangerous. Thank you

An answer to prayer: “Sorry the lifestyle you ordered is out of stock.”
 
God Bless You All,

Fr John
