March for Life

London  -  Saturday 7th September.

There are many attempts to further liberalise abortion in the UK and to silence those offering any alternative viewpoint, whether it's 'pills by post' abortions, 'decriminalisation', buffer zones, or censorship of pro-life students at universities. The dangers of these situations are being highlighted by the theme of this year's March for Life which is 'Abortion isn't healthcare'. Join thousands at this family-friendly event. Find out more at www.marchforlife.co.uk or contact Marie on marielangford@live.co.uk about the coach going from central Nottingham.

National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress

14th September 2024

The Bishops of England and Wales are hosting a National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress, Adoremus, on Saturday 14th September.  As well as being part of the Year of Prayer, this will be a continuation of the Eucharistic Congress held in Liverpool in 2018, and a time of preparation for the Jubilee 2025.  Information will be made available over the coming months to help all our parishes and communities prepare for this occasion.  As we celebrate today the solemnity of Corpus Christi we are invited to marvel afresh at the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus who lives with us always.

Ride & Stride

14th September 2024

Do you like walking or cycling? Would you like to have an interesting day out and also raise money for your Church?

Ride and Stride is an annual sponsored walk or bike ride where people are sponsored for each Historic Church they visit. A list of the participating churches will be supplied. Half the money you raise goes to the church of your choice and the other half goes into a general fund which has already donated £1,500 to our hall building project. So, what are you waiting for? You can’t lose! Pick up a sponsor form on your way out of church today. If you are not so active but also wish to help, you can be sponsored to sit in our church on the day and offer tea and biscuits to weary walkers and cyclists.
