Thanksgiving Meeting Number One

Oct 13, 2010

I have come over to the church to pray for a few moments before our 2pm Thanksgiving Programme meeting. I have no idea what the response will be. The same meeting will be repeated tonight for another group.

To be honest I am a bit apprehensive. We are at a turning point in the life of our parish. We need the resources to be able to reach out to the four thousand Catholic who live within the parish boundaries. We see only 800 at Mass each Sunday.

While I am apprehensive I am also hopeful. Excited even. The possibility for the birth of a new era of parish life is before us.

I will let you know how we go.

Pray!
