on the Gift Aid claim. Gift Aid is a vital source of income. All that is needed
is that you pay tax. You simply declare that you give funds to the Church.
We do the rest. Why not sign a form today? We get back an extra 25p for every
£1 you give the Church in your weekly collection or by way of a donation.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
In him who rose from the dead, our hope of resurrection dawned. The sadness
of death gives way to the bright promise of immortality. Lord for your faithful
people life is changed, not ended. When the body of our earthly dwelling lies
in death. we gain an everlasting dwelling place in heaven. Preface for
Christian death - read at funerals
If you would like to produce a Thought for the Week, please email it to Office@SaintPeterInChains.net.
Thanks.
EMBRACING THE FUTURE
The updated report Three
Horizons With Lay People is on the parish website. Some interesting ideas
emerge - some to them are things we can do nothing about at local level, for
example, married priests, women priests, bringing priests from elsewhere and
so on but some of them are things we could do. The proposal is to bring together
those who were able to attend the meeting, invite others and share ideas at
a parish level then hold a different kind of meeting in Saint
Matthew's Academy before Christmas with a view to looking at all practical
ideas and seeing how to take them forward. Printed copes can be made available
or emailed to you - just ask.
VISITORS
Are you visiting us for Mass? Please know that you are very welcome. During
the 10.30 am Mass outwith holidays, there is a Children’s Liturgy provided
for preschool children, children in Primaries 1 to 3 and a Sacramental Programme
for children in Primary 4. After the 10.30 am Mass, tea, coffee cakes and
buns are available in the Parish Centre. At both of our weekend Masses, we
have a second collection for our Parish Centre upkeep.
ADVERTISER SUPPORT
Our advertisers would welcome your support. We are grateful for their continuing
sponsorship. We are grateful for the support of Mr and Mrs Sohal, Nisa Stores,
Glasgow Street for the weekly donation of tea, coffee and milk for the Sunday
teas.
