Parish News: 26th Sunday and Week of the Year

The theme of the scripture is doing the will of God. We ask for this every time we pray the Lord’s Prayer: Thy will be done. It is of course not always simple to see what the right thing is, but if we are open to the prompting of the Spirit, he will guide us.

You can read the scripture set for this Sunday here.

St Benet’s is self supporting: we receive no regular central church or government funding, so you can donate using card online to support St Benet’s: and every penny really does count! You can also donate by cash or card in person, by texting BENET followed by your donation amount to 70450 to give that amount. Or why not set up a regular standing order with your bank?
 

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Brenda, Reece, John, Ann, Chika, Sonny, Danielle, Grace, Carl, Rex, Mary, Chinye, Rob and Fr Luke Demetri.
The Faithful departed
All who have worshipped and served here, those who have died recently, amongst them Marcelo de Susa and Joseph Cheriah as well as those whose year’s mind falls about this time, amongst them Jennie Hall (29th), Henry Francis Davis (30th), Emmie Pelling (2nd) and Ann Sarah Gayford (3rd).
