Please pray for:
the work of the brothers of the Society of St Francis, and the sisters of the
Community of St Francis, and Anglican Franciscans in the UK.
Dear Lord, You healed bodies, minds, and spirits during your ministry. We
ask Your healing power to be manifest to all threatened by the outbreak of
Ebola in West Africa. May they receive the treatment they need for their
bodies to fight the infection. May they know the comfort and assurance of
Your presence. May those who grieve the loss of loved ones find their hope
in You.
God of Compassion, hear the cries of the people of Syria and Iraq. Comfort
those who suffer violence, console those who mourn the dead and strength
neighbouring countries to welcome the refugees. Change the hearts of those
who have taken up arms and inflict great suffering and protect those
committed to peace.
LARGE PRINT copies of service booklets, hymns and this pew
sheet are available at the back of church, please just ask.

Thought for Today:
Franciscans respond to the radical call of Christ to ‘live the
Gospel’ in humility, love and joy, in a whole variety of ways
and locations around the country and the world. That
response is expressed in some kind of balance between the
life of prayer study, and active work, and we have a
particular call to serve those who are poor and marginalised
in society. For that reason, we are often to be found in
Urban Priority Areas and our Byker house is a good example
in this diocese. Alnmouth Friary is rather different, a
beautiful house by the seaside, which many will have
visited: As well as being a base for other activity, our
ministry and raison d’être at Alnmouth is to share such a
wonderful place and with others, so our focus is on
hospitality both to groups and individuals. Through that, we
support all sorts of people in their own ‘ministries’ and
vocations and in their home and family life, but in the wing of
the friary we call ‘St Anthony’s Chalet’ we also welcome
families and small groups and others from those places of
particular need.
Welcome to All Saints’ Especially to all those visiting for the
weekend, or worshipping with us for the first time. Children are
especially welcome. Don’t worry if they make a noise or run
around as long as they are happy. There is a Children’s Corner at
the back of church where younger children may like to go during
the service with books, work-sheets etc, which may be taken back
to pews. There are children’s activities during the service in the
hall - please join the procession at the start of the service.

recommendations will be based around Charities which

which could be summed up as:
Deepening our faith and deepening our fellowship
Outreach into the wider community and beyond (to be

FILM NIGHT AT
THE ‘GOSFORTH’
FRIDAY 31st OCTOBER 2014
GOSFORTH HOTEL, Salters Road
SHOWING AT 7.30pm
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
This black and white film was made soon after the book by
Erich Maria Remarque was published in the 1930’s. The book
gave a German private’s perspective on the First World War
and was an anti-war novel. The film was updated sometime in
the 1950’s but is essentially the 1930’s film.
Introduced by Paul Cross and followed by discussion of ethical
issues raised by the film.
Entrance is free but a donation (suggested £1) is invited
towards costs. All welcome, bring a friend.
Please note: Bar meals will be served up to 6.45pm so why not
come early and have a meal.
