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.

Lent Charity ideas from Tina Lumer
:DWHU$LG
-DUVRI&KDQJH$SSHDO
This good idea will be running throughout Lent for the
congregation and visitors to the church centre. 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.
