Dear Worshippers and Friends of St. Clement’s,
Do join us this coming Sunday..
Sunday 21st October starting at 11.00 –Sung Eucharist for the Twenty-First Sunday after Trinity
The Gospel reading is Mark 10. 35-45 where we read that James and John request privileged places of authority in seats at Jesus’ right and left and Jesus softly chastises the two for their ignorance and the supporting readings are Psalm 104. 1-10, 26, 35c in which the Psalmist praises God who made all creatures, feeds and cares for them, and delights in them and Hebrews 5. 1-10 where the text establishes the basic identity of Jesus as the heavenly High Priest who can sympathize with sinners because he himself has experienced weakness.
There will be parallel Children’s Ministry and following worship Coffee Hour in the hall on the third floor of Klimentska 18.
Other important things..

Many of you may have already noticed the rise in the weekly expenditure of the chaplaincy mentioned in our printed bulletin. For those of you who haven’t, the churchwardens have signed a new lease contract with our host congregation which has led to an increase of 2000 CZK per week making the new amount to 25,610 CZK. We were benefitted from the last lease contract for the last eight years and the new setting is for atleast six years. Other than some support we get from the Intercontinental Church Society(ICS), we are largely self-supporting. May I urge you to pray and think about increasing your support to the church. Here is the link to the various options available to make donation together with the contact details of the Treasurer, if you would like to discuss anything further, http://susanaj10.sg-host.com//about-us/finances/.
Celebratory Prayer for birthdays and wedding anniversaries or any other such occasion is a part of our regular service. You are invited to send to me the details of your birthday or any special occasion for which you would like us to pray, by email to this address.
Yours in His Service,
Nathanial
