(back of) newsletter, 18th September 2016

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Praise the Lord, who raises the poor.
                                             
IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Deut 14:22 – 15:11;   Mt 6:19-21;   1 Pt 1:13-21

MEDITATION:  
Very often we are blind to the riches and resources that we have at our disposal, the gifts God has given us and expects us to use. But most of all we can be blind to the presence of God within us. To look within is to see the beauty of what God has created, and to become aware of his presence. We are called to use what is within us, to be astute like the dishonest steward – for the glory of God – and in doing so discover God.

NEXT ST LEONARDS-ON-SEA DEANERY SAFEGUARDING BASIC AWARENESS TRAINING
27th September 2016 from 7pm to 9pm, at St Mary Magdalene, TN40 1RH, opposite Bexhill train station.
You can book for the training on the Arundel and Brighton Diocesan website in the Safeguarding section under courses and events. Or phone our Parish Safeguarding Representative on 07518521286 or 01424 753923. The diocese needs numbers by 20th September so they can provide the right number of handouts and refreshments. The training is for everyone, but the diocese is particularly targeting those who have a role in the parish which requires a DBS check and whose role brings them into contact with children and with adults at risk. The training is not for people who have attended one of our recent basic training evenings.
If you prefer to undertake online training, please email Rosemary.Terry@bishops-house.co.uk so that she can register you with EduCare, the national online training provider.

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 1000th anniversary. It is hoped that the Hastings embroidery will be out this year too. Email heather_agar@yahoo.co.uk or phone 01424 422242 if you’d like a panel or see the Hastings 950 Tapestry Facebook page. Please note: St Clement’s Church will be open for the next few Saturdays for you to make your panels. All materials will be provided.

CHARISMATIC PRAYER GROUP meets on Tuesday evenings from 8pm till 9pm in the presbytery.
All are warmly welcome.

IF YOU ACCOMPANY YOUR CHILD(REN)
to our Children’s Liturgy of the Word, please consider joining our team as Safeguarding support. All it involves is asking Chris Emary, our Safeguarding Rep, to apply for your DBS clearance and then letting us know which Sundays you can be at the liturgies. Just text 07850 561828 if you can help.
