If anyone has not yet filled in their forms or thinks that they should be have one, Charlotte Williams, the Child Protection Officer for the parish, will be available after Mass on Sunday 9th March at Christ the King, to help with any queries. If you would rather, please feel free to call her on 760531.

Race track at Christ the King Hall opens at 7:30pm. Proceeds to Emma Moulding’s Fund. Tickets available now.

Many Pray-as-you-go users will be familiar with the traditional Catholic devotion known as the Stations of the Cross, a series of meditations on scenes from the Passion of Jesus, from his sentencing at the hands of Pilate to the laying of his body in the tomb.

There are fourteen standard stations, which can be found on the walls of just about any Catholic church in the world. But some variations from this form exist, including one more closely following the scriptures, approved by Pope Benedict in 2007.

This year, during Lent, in addition to the daily Pray-as-you-go, we are offering a series of ten scripture-based meditations in the tradition of the Stations of the Cross. The first four are available now and included in this week’s podcast feed. More will follow next week.

Car sold!

Please see the list at the back of Christ the King church, and enter your name if you wish to join a small group focussing on Pathways of Prayer during Lent.

During the period of Lent, BBC Radio 4’s Sunday Worship and Daily Service will take up themes of Pathways of Prayer with a study guide and complementary materials available on both the Churches Together and BBC websites.

Each week the preacher on the Sunday Worship programme will focus on a particular Pathway of Prayer. The six Pathways will be:

The Path of Holiness
The Path of Social Justice
The Devotional Path
The Sacramental Path
The Contemplative Path
The Charismatic Path
