St German's News - 6 Jan 2019 'Epiphany'

Epiphany - We continue to celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord today with a special service in St German’s this evening at 6pm, led by Geraint.  It is also a tradition to mark the entrance to a house, home or church with the initials of the three wise men and we ask people to stay for this blessing of chalk and  marking the entrance to the church at the end of mass.          

Nightshelter - We still need help with the nightshelter and especially with those able to cook for 15-20. Please keep our guests and volunteers in your prayers.  The 8:00 am mass is open to all but is focused mainly on provision for our night shelter guests and helpers.                         

Week of prayer for Christian Unity 18-25 Jan. There will be prayer resources for individual use during the 8 days and also laminated copies in each church for people to pray when visiting the church. The joint service this year will be in St Saviour’s at 6pm on Sunday 20th Jan 2018.  The theme this year is ‘Only Justice’ organised by Christians from Indonesia. All are welcome.  

Fr John Griffiths RIP - His funeral will be at the Shrine of Julian of Norwich in Norwich on Wed 10 Jan 2019. May he rest forever in the peace of Christ.
