RESPONSORIAL PSALM: I will praise you, Lord.

                                              You have rescued me.

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Ps 29 (30); Jon 2:1-11; 1-44

MEDITATION:

Lord Jesus,

May the power of your resurrection touch whatever

Is dead in us

And bring it back to life.

Let the splendour of your resurrection light up he world,

Scattering the shadows of death

And helping all the Father’s children

To walk in radiant hope towards the kingdom that is to come.

The Royal College of Midwives is campaigning for abortion up to birth for any reason Please write to our MP, Amber Rudd, asking her to sign the Early Day Motion tabled by Labour MP Rob Flello calling for the resignation of Cathy Warwick, CEO of the RCM. If we do not take a stand, we will soon have abortion up to birth for any reason in this country.

THE PEOPLE’S NEW TAPESTRY

has been launched as part of the Hastings Celebrates 1066 events. You can buy a panel (£5) and sew a picture of yourself on; each panel will then be assembled onto larger back pieces and then be displayed in St Clement’s at least until the 1000^th anniversary. It is hoped that the Hastings embroidery will also be out this year too. Email heather_agar@yahoo.co.uk if you’d like a panel.
