Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

First Reading : Isaiah 50: 4-7
The prophet suffers in carrying out his mission, but is confident that God will vindicate him.

Second Reading: Philippians 2: 6-11
Because Jesus took on himself our human condition and accepted death on a cross,
the Father has made him Lord of heaven and earth.

Gospel: Luke 22: 14-23:56
Luke’s version of the Passion Story. As in the rest of his Gospel, so in his account of the Passion,
Luke presents a Christ who is merciful and forgiving even to his executioners.

Clothing Bank

Once again the clothing bank has been broken into. We would ask the residents of the village if they see any suspicious activity around the community hall to please let us Know. 77781876.

Anti Social Behaviour

We have over the last couple of months or so been made aware of an increase in anti social behaviour in the village. Stone throwing at cars and at windows of homes, and the destruction of property. The names of children/young people seen carryiing out these acts have been given to our Project Coordinator. The community notice board at the community hall has also been vandalised. This will cost £130 to replace. Whilst this behaviour is being carried out by a small number of children we would ask all residents of the area to be vigilant and to contact the community office if they are suffering the effects of anti social behaviour or know who the perpetrators are 777 81876.
