CHILDREN’S
LITURGY
The Children's Liturgy resumes in September.
ARE YOU BLESSED?
If you own just one Bible ... you are abundantly blessed. One third of all
the world does not have access to one. If you woke up this morning with more
health than illness ... you are more blessed than the million who will not
survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the
loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation
... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend Mass
in Church without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death ... you are
more blessed than three billion people in the world. If you have food in the
fridge, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you
are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your
wallet and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of
the world's wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married ...
you are very rare, even in Scotland. If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful ... you are blessed because the majority
can, but most do not. If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch
them on the shoulder you are blessed because you can offer God's healing touch.
If you prayed yesterday and today ... you are in the minority because you
believe God does hear and answer prayers. If you can read this message, you
just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore,
you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot
read at all. If you believe in Jesus as the Son of God and as your Saviour
... you are blessed as being part of a small minority in the world ... Amen
to that!
JUST FOR A LAUGH…
One day, God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the rascally behaviour
that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out
so, he called one of His angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When
he returned, he told God "Yes, it is bad on Earth - 95% are misbehaving
and 5% are not." God thought for a moment and said "Maybe I had
better send down a second angel to get another opinion." So God called
another angel and sent him to Earth for a time too. When the angel returned
he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline - 95%
are misbehaving and 5% are being good." God was not pleased so He decided
to email the 5% that were good, because He wanted to encourage them, give
them a little something to help them keep going. Do you know what that e-mail
said? No? Oh, so you didn't get one either?
LOVE FOR A LIFETIME
We are delighted to announce the wedding of James Holmes and Caroline Murray
on Saturday 7 July at 1.30pm. We wish them both a love for a lifetime.
HOW TO STAY SAFE IN THE WORLD TODAY
• Avoid riding in cars because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.
• Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.
• Avoid walking on streets or pavements because 14% of all accidents occur
to pedestrians.
• Avoid traveling by air, rail or water because 16% of all accidents involve
these forms of transportation.
• Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in hospitals - so, above all
else, avoid hospitals.
You will be pleased, however, to learn that only 001% of all deaths occur
during Mass in Church. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for
you to be at any given point in time is at Church - and Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Adoration is even less
- so for safety's sake, attend church and plan some Adoration. It could save
your life!
THANK YOU
Annie (Clowes) Reid and family thanks gratefully the support and spiritual
help and guidance from Father
Duncan and all Saint Peter's friends and neighbours
for the Holy Mass for my daughter, Helen Clowes. A thank you Mass will be
said.
SUNDAY
TEAS
Tea and coffee will be served after the 10.30am Mass next Sunday in the Parish
Centre by Sadie's, Marie's andPhyllis' team.
CREAM
TEAS FOR MAINTENANCE FUND
The Cream Teas held last Saturday was a great success with £620 being
raised for the Maintenance Fund. Thank you to all who worked very hard to
make it possible and thank you to all who came along and supported the teas
and/or donated prizes.

SCOTTISH CATHOLIC EDUCATION SERVICE PARENT GROUP
To help parents contribute to the developments in Catholic schools, there
will be a Gathering of Catholic Parents on Saturday 18 August 2018 from 9.30am
to 2.30pm in Saint Charles' Parish Hall, 5 Union Street, Paisley. Places are
free but booking is essential. To book please contact parents@sces.uk.com.
LADY'S WATCH
A lady's watch has been found and is in the Parish Office. Please contact
the office for more information.
GIFT AID
The Inland Revenue now requires us to use a new style of Gift
Aid form. These are available at the back of the Church and on the parish
website. If you pay tax, please complete the new form and return it to the
box provided. This allows us to provide the additional information required
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.
There is no need to cancel or renew it. We simply claim in the income we receive.
VISITORS
Are you visiting us for Holy Mass? Please know that you are very welcome.
During the 10.30 am Holy 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 Holy Mass, tea, coffee
cakes and buns are available in the Parish Centre. At both of our weekend
Holy Masses, we have a second collection for Church maintenance.
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.
