* Can you help us with donations of prizes for the Tombola Stall? Please bring to the Parish Office
(please don’t leave them at the back of
church) any new, unopened gifts, chocolates, bottles etc that you can spare. We would also love
you cake bakers to bake (or you cake buyers to buy!) cakes for our tea & cake stall. Please bring them to the Parish office on the Friday or to the stall on the day itself. Thank you all so much! * *
European Elections....
This is part of a briefing by the National Justice and Peace Network on the European elections.
Voting in the European elections:
* Be careful about promises:
* Look at who is on the party lists:
Look up: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/unitedkingdom/en/european-elections/european_elections.html
*Be careful about giving your vote to those who have shown themselves to be abusive, corrupt or incompetent.
“People say ‘I’m from this party’ or I’m from that party’, but effectively, they don’t have clear thoughts about the basics, about proposals. The people are sovereign. I will only say: Study the proposals well, pray and choose in conscience.” – Pope Francis.
*There are many important issues: Which party do you think has the best approach to dealing with as many of these questions as possible, as well as possible?
*Check where the funding comes from.
* Listen to the Holy Spirit in your heart – what is God’s choice?
*Look for a sense of deep peace – this is a clue that you have discerned well
