Christmas Bazaar: Many thanks to all of you who have already brought items for the bazaar. For the next couple of weeks please bring along groceries - all within the sell-by date of course. The Bazaar itself will be held on 5th December. Christmas Bazaar Grand Draw: The tickets for the Grand Draw are now available as you leave church today. 1st prize is a mini hi-fi, 2nd prize a meal for two at Mama Rosa's, 3rd prize six bottles of wine, and 4th prize a £20 M&S voucher. Please post the stubs and money through Fr John's front door. Confirmation 2010: Bishop Peter will be celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation here on 13th May 2010. Classes will start in January. There are forms at the back of the church for candidates, who need to be attending secondary school. Please return the forms to Fr John as soon as possible. Assisted Suicide: The Conference of Bishops has voiced its concerns about assisted suicide and the potential dangers of the DPP guidelines issued recently. Go to www.catholicchurch.org.uk for advice, then www.cps.gov.uk/consultations/as_policy.html. But, most importantly, please pray for those who are near suicide. The Livesimply Challenge 2009: Our third challenge: Reducing our impact on the climate. Here on earth there are no passengers - only crew! The world's poorest people are most at risk from climate change: please support CAFOD's Climate Justice campaign. Things like insufficient insulation, leaving lights on unnecessarily or overfilling the kettle all waste energy. Can I get myself to church in a more environmentally friendly way? Could I walk or cycle? Perhaps I could offer a spare seat in my car? Visit www.energysavingtrust.org.uk for more tips and ideas. Contact: Candlelight News: Our latest edition of Contact includes an article explaining our Candlelight Fund, which has been set up in memory of Fr Steve Reith. CAFOD has sent us a few copies of their Candlelight News, which you may like to read. They have invited us to include and article on Fr Steve for the next issue.
