Thank you from the Social Committee
On behalf of the Social Committee sincere thanks to you all for the support you gave at the Christmas Fayre, which enabled us to raise the magnificent sum of £2422-45. The effort you all put in is very much appreciated and I hope you agree that the end result makes it all worthwhile. There are lists of what each stall made and the winners in the various raffles in the porch for you check out.
Following Mass today there is another chance to meet socially as we celebrate the 77th anniversary of the opening of our church. Tea and Coffee will be available after 9-00am Mass and drinks and nibbles after 6-00pm Mass. One suggestion, as well as talking to parishioners you know, seek out someone you only know by sight and engage them in conversation. It's amazing what a friendly word will do.
This Movember, I've committed my upper lip to help change the face of men's health by growing a moustache, and now I need your support at http://uk.movember.com/The Movember Foundation is the leading global organisation committed to changing the face of men’s health.
I'm passionate about this cause because too many men are dying unnecessarily from prostate cancer. Each year, 40,000 men in the UK alone are diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The Movember Foundation is working tirelessly every day with an urgent goal in mind: accelerating breakthroughs in prostate cancer research that will benefit patients and their families. Movember is achieving this by the formation of the largest, global alliance of prostate cancer researchers and clinical specialists, who are tackling the toughest prostate cancer challenges.
I need your support to fund this important work. Together, we can create a world where no man dies of prostate cancer. You can donate by:
- Donating online at http://uk.movember.com/
- Writing a cheque to 'Movember Europe', referencing my registration ID: 6677145 and mailing it to: Movember Europe, PO Box 3, Diss, IP98 1HH
You can learn more about the important work and impact Movember is having at: http://uk.movember.com/
There's a lot riding on this moustache, thank you for your support!

We will remember them...
The children made a beautiful, handprint poppy wreath during their liturgy which was brought up at the Offertory and displayed on the altar.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
From Laurence Binyon's poem
For the Fallen, written in September 1914
