HAPPY EASTER!
As we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord on this, the Queen of Feasts, we wish you and yours a blessed and joyful Easter. Fr Thomas offers sincere thanks to all who have contributed to the liturgies of Holy Week and hopes that some well-deserved rest may be had now that we have entered the Great Fifty Days of the Easter Season.
WAGNER GROUP EASTER CELEBRATION
Booking has opened for our dinner at Donatello on Pentecost Sunday (24th May) closes on Sunday 12 April. For three courses and service, we are being charged £18.50 per person. Drinks are paid for separately. Ahead of the deadline, do let Fr Thomas know if you wish to attend and give him your money, preferably cash.
ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING
After Mass on Sunday 19 April, we hold the Annual Meeting for our parish as we elect Churchwardens, several members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) and lay representatives to the Deanery Synod. Nomination forms, the agenda and the minutes of last year’s APCM are now available. Please speak with Victor, one of our Churchwardens, if you have any questions about this and do return completed nomination forms to him before the APCM.
PRAYING THE HOLY ROSARY
We meet at St Bart’s at 6pm tomorrow, Monday 20 April, to pray together the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. All are welcome.
PARISH LUNCH
Sunday 26 April: St Paul’s Parish lunch at 1pm. Forms (Available in the Narthex) and full payment (preferably Cash) will need to be received by Victor or Mark in the Parish Office by Wednesday 22 April. Cost is £15 per head. Wine can be pre-ordered and paid for when you purchase your ticket. Without both forms and payment, we are unable to include you in the number we give to the caterer.
FUNERAL PLANS
Fr Thomas has lately met with several parishioners to discuss their funeral plans and to be given a record for safe keeping for when the time comes. Having something in writing not only gives us peace of mind but can also help those who will make such arrangements happen, especially if they are not familiar with what a Christian funeral comprises. If, then, you would appreciate the chance to meet with him, please do be in touch.
CHURCH WATCHING
We are incredibly blessed here at St Paul’s to be able to have our church building open for several hours each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This is only possible thanks to the selflessness of our team of church watchers, two of whom are always on duty when the building is open to the public. It would be good to expand this team, and so if you might be able to give some of your time to the very worthwhile cause of enabling more people to experience the beauty of holiness here, please have a word with Fr Thomas. Even if you feel you can only give time on an irregular basis, perhaps to cover one of our existing team being on holiday, your contribution would be much appreciated.
APPEAL FROM OUR FOOD BANK
Our city’s food bank is in considerable need of more donations. We have been asked to flag the particular need for tinned meat, fish, tomato and vegetables as well as pasta, rice, tinned fruit, tinned desserts and instant coffee. Supporting the needy is an integral part of our Christian discipleship, so if you can offer some help, please take your donations to the food bank, which is located at the Calvary Church, BN1 4NJ. Alternatively, if you wish to donate a sum of money for the food bank to then spend on what they need, you can do so using the link: http://www.brightonfoodbank.org.uk/how-can-you-help/.
