WEEKLY BULLETIN SERVICES THIS WEEK
The Parish Church of Saint Thomas of Canterbury Brentwood WEEKLY BULLETIN THE THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT - 8th March 2015 We welcome, in the name of Jesus Christ, any newcomers to our church today. Please make yourself known to one of the priests or the people who gave you the service books. Younger children may be taken into the crèche in the Church Centre for a time-out as necessary (through the doors on the right near the organ). After the 10.00am Mass please come through to the Church Centre for tea or coffee and to meet other members of the congregation. At holy communion, if you do not normally receive the blessed sacrament you are invited to come to the altar for a blessing, carrying the purple booklet as a sign; and we do ask everyone to try and keep a time of quiet prayerfulness during this part of the service. 8.00am MASS Readings as at 10.00am 10.00am SUNG MASS Introductory Rite (purple book page 4) Entrance Hymn: Lift high the cross (separate leaflet) Kyrie: Penitential Rite (Brentwood Mass) - David Rooke Collect: Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

The idea behind it is: x To give up one daily/ weekly coffee/tea and replace it with a glass of water x Order a label at http://www.wateraid.org/uk/ audience/community-groups/lent x Make a donation in the labelled jar (in the foyer) for the amount you would have spent on your beverage. At the end of Lent all the proceeds collected will be given to Wateraid and the Medhanealem Church, Ashalta, Ethiopia. This will help them build a manual pump so they are able to get fresh water, improving their health and living conditions. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The Children’s Society: ourȱ churchȱ membersȱ haveȱtraditionallyȱsupportedȱtheȱChildren’sȱSociety.ȱȱAtȱ Christmasȱ weȱ alsoȱ giveȱ theȱ proceedsȱ fromȱ theȱ Christinglesȱ toȱ thisȱ muchȱ respectedȱ charity.ȱ ȱ Wouldȱ youȱkindlyȱsignȱupȱtoȱhaveȱaȱChildrenȇsȱSocietyȱboxȱatȱ home?ȱ ȱ Weȱ haveȱ receivedȱ someȱ newȱ boxesȱ readyȱ forȱ distributionȱȬȱhandyȱboxesȱforȱyourȱlooseȱchangeȱandȱaȱ goodȱwayȱtoȱmakeȱanȱextraȱdonation.ȱȱPleaseȱaddȱyourȱ nameȱtoȱtheȱlistȱonȱtheȱFoyerȱNoticeboardȱandȱweȱwillȱ contactȱyou.ȱȱȱ ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱManyȱthanks,ȱTinaȱȱ WEȱ NEEDȱ YOURȱ HELPȱ PLEASE!ȱ can you comealongonthemorningofSaturday14thMarch,to help make theposiesforthechildrentogivetotheir mums at the Mothering Sunday Mass on Sunday 15th March?
