Welcome to our Church today, after the Parish Mass refreshments will be served at the back of Church. Please join us and make yourself known to one of the clergy.

This ancient church has been a place of Christian worship of Almighty God for well over 1,000 years; as we enter the third millennium of our salvation it is salutary to remember that Christians have gather here on this spot since the first millennium.

If you would like to pray, the Lady Chapel is set aside as a place of quiet, where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved or you might like to light a candle at one of the many shrines around church.

s. nicholas church Floodlight: light the church

We all realise how important it is to support our Church, more so in these days of rising costs; well here is a good way of supporting it and enjoying it personally.Floodlight the building by day £2.25 or by the week £14.50, for that personal event: a birth, Baptism, Birthday, an Anniversary, Wedding or Years Mind of a loved one, in doing this you will remember and at the same time help pay the electricity bill. The price is reasonable and shows this building in all its glory after sunset, it does enhance this fine building. Reg holds the diary, to be sure there are no double bookings, it is yours for the day or week.

IntroductIonIn following Christ we may be called to suffer for our faith; but such times of trial are also opportunities to bear witness to him.

Today’sReadingsFirstReadingMalachi3:19-20The Lord comes in judgement but also with healing.

SecondReading2Thessalonians3:7-12Waiting for Christ’s return is no reason to sit in idleness but rather to earn one’s own bread.

GospelLuke21:5-9In the face of persecution and hostility Christians are called to bear witness to their faith.

PRAyER OF THE FAiTHFuL

The Lord tells us to turn to him in our moments of need and danger. Let us turn to our heavenly Father and pray.

Let us pray for the Church: that it may bear witness to the truth of the Gospel in the face of a hostile world.Lord, hear us.

Let us pray for ourselves and our families and communities: that we may witness to our faith by having the courage to put it into practice.Lord, hear us.

Let us pray for all those Christians who are facing persecution for their faith: that God may give them the strength to endure.Lord, hear us.

Let us pray for governments throughout the world: that they may grant to all their citizens the right of freedom to worship.Lord, hear us.

Let us pray for those who have died, especially those whose anni-versaries we keep today: that they may enjoy fully the new heaven and new earth which God creates.Lord, hear us.

Loving Father, hear all these our prayers, and what we ask in faith may you grant through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
