Eternal God, you crown the year with your goodness and you give us the fruits of the earth in their season: grant that we may use them to your glory, for the relief of those in need and for our own well-being; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Creator God, you made the goodness of the land, the riches of the sea and the rhythm of the seasons; as we thank you for the harvest, may we cherish and respect this planet and its peoples, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

NOTICE BOARD THIS WEEK’S FLOWERS The flowers have been kindly donated by Ron Griffiths in memory of his wife Elsie. Thank you. HARVEST SUPPER AND QUIZ NIGHT Thank you to all who helped organise and who attended last night and made it all such fun. Brilliant. HARVEST APPEAL This year there will be two aspects to the appeal: 1) Harvest Goods: the goods you have brought along this morning will be donated to the homeless hostel in Lye, and 2) Harvest Pounds: the pound coins which will form a circle around the altar if possible will go to an Archdeacon in Zambia, Fr Thomas Kabaso, to help in the church and school work in the impoverished part of Africa where he now works in retirement. SERVICE OF CONFIRMATION – 13 December Please can those who would like to be confirmed at the service this year let me know or remind Fr Alan so that you can receive an application form. Preparation sessions will be on Sunday afternoons and will begin on 18 October at 5.15pm. MONDAY MORNING MASS As from Monday 21 September, the service will be at 11am. This is to allow our friends from Brettell Lane who will be joining us, to be able to come for coffee at 10.30 prior to Mass.
