Dear Worshippers, Friends and Patrons of St. Clement’s,
I want to start this week’s Weekly Message by saying a ‘Thank you!’ to everyone who stood besides us in the difficult time. Your prayers, messages, care and concern in everyway has made us feel, yet again, how blessed we are to be a part of St. Clement’s church family. I extend my gratitude to the Churchwardens and Church Council for their support, David Hellam for the service last Sunday and to all who helped Aditi and the babies while I was away, especially Gismunde. I am back now and available for anything of pastoral concern.
Now coming to this Sunday..
Sunday 15th October at 11.00 – Sung Eucharist for the Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity
The Gospel reading is Matthew 22:1-14 whilst the supporting readings are Exodus 32:1-14 and Philippians 4:1-9. Our preacher will be Licensed Reader Jack Noonan. There will be parallel Children’s Ministry.
