WEEKLY BULLETIN

​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

TODAY After Mass today there will be refreshments served in the Church Hall at S. Silas. We do hope you will be able to join us. 

​

CANDLEMAS LAMPS The sponsorships of the various lamps that burn in church need to be renewed and intentions reviewed, there are still some lamps available for sponsorship. There is a letter in church today about this and a form to complete. The lamps are a visible sign of our prayers and support for one another and the life of the church. Please speak to Fr Philip if you have any questions about these.

 

DEVOTIONS AT THE CRIB Our crib offering this year will go to support the work of Friends of the Holy Land. This charity supports Christians across the Holy Land who are particularly in need at this time. Today is the last day to donate to this important work.
