Reflection
This Sunday, 21 June, we mark Day for Life, the day in the Church’s calendar when we come together to celebrate the dignity of all human life from conception to natural death.
This year’s theme is ‘The Wonder of the Child in the Womb’. A child is a gift from God to be nurtured and cherished, but the theme also recognises the tragedy of babies who died before birth and the grief experienced by their parents and families.
The bishops’ message and prayers can be found on the website: www.dayforlife.org. The second collection will go toward the Day for Life Fund, which distributes grants to organisations that promote respect for life from conception until natural death.
You can also donate online on the Day for Life website.
Diaconate Ordinations
On Saturday Bro Reuben Doeyou, who was part of our community here in Bootle, was ordained as a Deacon in the Thornleigh Chapel, Bolton, along with Bro Chin K and Bro Sixtus Uzoma.
Bishop John Arnold of Salford was the ordaining Bishop.
We pray for the three new Deacons and ask God’s blessing on their future ministry.
Happy Father’s Day
We would like to wish all the Fathers in our congregation a very happy Fathers’ Day.
We hope you have an enjoyable day and get spoiled at least a little bit!
