THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

'IN SO FAR AS YOU DID THIS TO  ONE OF THE LEAST OF THOSE BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID IT TO ME'  [ Matthew 25. 40-41]

                                                                                                                                                                                                         
The Summer Post-Alpha Programme begins on Tuesday  3rd June 2008 and runs for 7 weeks in St. John's Church Hall, Farncombe starting with a meal at 7.30 pm.

We have invited 7 exceptional speakers who in their chosen vocations have been inspired by a Christian vision, part of which is reflected in the above heading   In sharing about their own calling we believe that they will inspire and encourage us.   So do come and pray about others whom you could invite to join us; such as fellow parishioners and other Christians, new arrivals, lonely, bereaved, lapsed, non-believers, young parents seeking answers to the questions of their young, and those of us needing to enliven our relationship with the Good Lord in listening to the speakers and each other. Please pray for the success of this programme.
