Use of the Upper Room Following a fire risk assessment review for upper room it
has been agreed by our priests and Management Committee (in consultation with the Diocese), that for the time being the Upper Room should only be used for storage and by the altar servers to prepare for Mass. No meetings or activities should be held there until further notice. The Management and Finance Committee are working to ensure proper fire protection is in put place for this area so normal activities can be resumed asap.
Toddler Group and Children’s Liturgy will therefore not be continuing for the fore-seeable future (see above notice re Upper room use). Children’s Mass sheets will be available as usual and additional colouring sheets (relevant to the week’s gospel) and crayons, pencils etc will be available in the porch for children to use during Mass. We hope to resume normal children’s activities asap.

Vocation Matters-12th January The Baptism of the Lord Written by Fr Matt Anscombe, our diocesan Vocations Director, these reflections will help us to be constantly reminded that God chooses each one of us in Christ, and that we are called to discover his plan for ourselves in the midst of the Church.
“I, the Lord, have called you to serve the cause of right”
In the 2012 film The Impossible, the tsunami of Christmas Day 2006 is reenacted powerfully. The film contrasts both the death-dealing and life-giving power of water. In the Baptism of the Lord, Jesus sanctifies the waters through which all who experi-ence it will die to sin and rise to new life in Him. The pouring of water in baptism has both a death-dealing and life-giving effect. The consequence of this effect is a shar-
ing in the priestly, prophetic and kingly ministry of Jesus, lived out in our specific vocation. Through these waters, God doesn’t ask us what we aspire to be. No,
through these waters, God invites us to seek His will and become heralds of the Gospel through that specific vocation.
