THE MISSION PRAYER
Please God,
Grant us the grace to speak out your message to our existing
and future parish family. May our actions call our brothers
and sisters to develop their faith in Christ, and through the
power of the Holy Spirit, may we grow in our faith through
our community and prayer.
To the glory of your name. Amen.

Father Peter writes :
Recently the Parish hosted a meeting of priests who were
from the local Chapter of the Society of the Holy Cross. The
talk given at the meeting was entitled ‘Christians in Iraq’ and
was given by a lady who was a nurse who had made a number
of extended visits to that embattled country.
She spoke in a vivid and compelling way detailing her
experiences which were at times gruesome and difficult to
receive; outlining the treatment metered out to Christian men,
women and children at the hands of I.S.I.L.
Imagine having your home daubed with a Cross or a big ‘C’
for Christian knowing that your home was about to be
targeted and taken. This is what happened in Mosul (a city
you’ve probably heard of from the news). A City which had
ten years ago up to 60,000 Christians living there now has
none – they have had to flee, after being told by I.S.I.L. to
convert or face the sword.
At the talk the nu5rse told a story of a priest, Father John,
who wore no clerical shirt and neither did he carry a stole (a
badge of his office). He ministered faithfully under the most
harrowing of conditions to a group of displaced Christians in
the mountains of Northern Iraq. After her first visit he chose
to send to her in the U.K. the only Christian symbol he
possessed: a small cross with a request to pray for the
Christians of Iraq. To him the small Cross became a symbol
of hope for the persecuted Christians there who are isolated
and feel ignored by the people of the world.
We live our Christian lives in comparative comfort and ease,
no threat to life, we can practise our faith without hindrance
or not if we become complacent. I ask you all to embrace
Iraqi Christians in your daily prayers. You will see elsewhere
in this magazine details of a Prayer Vigil Programme being
held in Middleborough.
This year we shall be supporting a charity AID FOR THE
CHURCH IN NEED at our Harvest this truly is FAITH IN
ACTION. I urge you to be as generous as you are able that
our offerings may reflect the very many blessings we receive
daily from God.
FAITH AND ACTION is what the Christians of Iraq
desperately need from us all at this time.
May Almighty God encourage us all to lead compassionate
lives.
Father Peter
God of Compassion, Hear the cries of the people of Iraq.
Comfort those who suffer violence, console those who mourn
the dead, convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms
and protect those who are committed to peace. Inflame us
your people with compassion for the people of Iraq and give
us hope for a future built on justice for all. We ask this
through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Amen.

MOTHERS UNION
JULY 24TH
. As this would be our last meeting before our month of
August break a combined service of members from both All Saints and
St John’s was held in All Saints Church at 2pm. We were a bit sparse in
numbers due to holiday etc., but this did not hamper our proceedings in
any way.
Alma welcomed us all in her usual warm friendly way and then led us
into our special Mothers Union Service of hymns and prayers as used by
all our members worldwide. For our Bible reading this was from Psalm
22 which is almost in wording to the renowned and greatly loved Psalm
23, ‘The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want’, such beautiful and
impressive words.
Then Alma continued reading out in alphabetical order some of the
Christian names, their origins and the meanings of some of the women
who are listed in our Bible stories. As there are quite a number she will
continue next meeting – something interesting to look forward to come
September when we hope everyone has enjoyed a relaxing happy time
but without a lot of sunshine!!!
we continued with our usual chatter and welcome cup of tea or coffee
and scones and cake provided by our very talented ladies. Well so ends
another lovely meeting – take care of yourselves and your friends and
families. Anyone who had a birthday, ‘many happy returns’ hope it was
a good one. Hope to see you in September – God willing –
Cheerio, Love and God Bless

Wednesday 29th July
Once again Linda had been working her ‘magic’ for us for
our meeting which wasx held at a different time and place.
There was twenty three of us present to enjoy afternoonn tea
in ‘Humbles’ café on the North Terrace. it was a bit of a tight
squeeze but we managed, as you do. These Afternoon Teas
seem to be quite the ‘vogue’ now a days, I remember them
from way back. Then they seemed to disappear but I am glad
they are back again – makes one feel so elegant – it’s the
tiered cake stands and finely decorated china that seems to do
the trick.
When we had all arrived and seated for our 2pm reservation
we were presented with a good selection of sandwiches with
various fillings in super white and brown bread accompanied
with scones, jam and cream and small cakes. Something ther I
think to suit everyones taste. It was indeed a splendid treat
which I feel sure that everyone present enjoyed. Linda was
thanked gfor yet another splendid effort and we sat awhile to
allow a heavy burst of rain to clear away – not much of a
summer is it – where’s the sun?
We then said our goodbyes, hoping everyone enjoys the
remainder of the holiday season. Take care, mind how you go
and see you hopefully at our next meeting on August 26th in
St John’s Parish Room at 7pm
Cherrio for now and God Bless as always.
