NOVEMBER MASSES
THE WISE OLD OWL
QUOTE
‘It is precisely when we see and experience poverty –
whether far away, close by, or in our own hearts – that
we need to become the Church, that is, hold hands as
brothers and sisters, confess our own brokenness and
need, forgive each other, heal each other’s wounds and
gather around the table of Jesus for the breaking of the
bread.’
People wrapped
up in themselves
make a very small
package.

PRAYER REQUESTS
Please pray for: Hans Elder-Bush (1975) &
Donald Buckingham (2010) whose anniversaries occur
at this time.
May they rest in peace. Amen.
Please pray for the sick: Dannielle Crabb, Paul Dalton
& Jack Morahan.
PLEASE READ THIS…
This week several of our rosters are due out. We are
very grateful for all who offer. At the same time, if
people don't turn up, things can be very inconvenient.
If you can't attend, please arrange for a replacement.
Don't ring the office. Please ring another person on
the roster.
It is especially important that readers and special
ministers arrive reasonably early... say ten minutes
before start time. Please let the acolyte know you are
there. It's very stressful not knowing whether people
are going to come or not.
Of course, it would be lovely if we were all early!!!
