26th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C) Ps4 29th Sept 2019
When hearing of Lazarus and the rich man, if we tend to identify with Lazarus, we miss the point of the story. We,
collectively, embody the spirit of the rich man. In Europe we have a mountain of beef, of cereals and of butter, a lake of
wine and a lake of milk, that cost a fortune to maintain. These are like the crumbs that fall from our table. The warning of
Amos aims at us: “Woe to those ensconced snugly in Zion.” However, the problem of shocking inequality of opportunity in
our world is so large that we tend to shrug off any responsibility for our personal part in it. You may be living in a bed-sitter
with few comforts or struggling just to meet mortgage repayments on your home. Yet all the services we benefit from, our
public transport system, our education, our health services etc. derive from the rich man’s club to which we belong. In that
sense, we are dining at the rich man’s table.
Parish Office hours: Tuesday & Friday: 9am-2pm
Last week’s offertory, £914.43 received with many thanks! This weekend there will be a second

Saviour’s should clearly indicate that it is destined for the building project and if
you have a gift aid number please remember to note it. Are current total of
monies raised is £6155.02!
Now…
£6155.02
Renovation Work on The Parish Centre: Progress on the refurbishment of
the Parish Centre is going very well & we are becoming ever closer to
finishing. Our fundraising is still ongoing for the refurbishment works &
everyone’s help is very much appreciated. At the back of the church is a list
of individual items needed to complete the works. If you are happy to
make a donation & sponsor an item, please put your name next to the
item on the list before making your donation to the Parish Office. Thank
you to everyone for your generosity in helping in our fundraising efforts.
We also have a ‘building fund box’ at the back of the church should you
wish to donate - all monies collected mean we are a step closer to making
the Parish Centre a great addition to our community! Thank you very much
to those who have donated to the box so far! Please be advised that all
activities within the Parish Centre have stopped & if you are able to lend a
hand, please speak to Sean Moore, Mark Barrell or the Parish office.
Thanking you in advance for your support!
