February Chaplaincy magazine: Our February magazine is published at the same time as this Friday Focus.
As always we look back as well as looking forward, and two contributions are inspired by thoughts after the recent Unity Week. We also have a fuller than usual report on the recent Chaplaincy Council, including news of an important meeting to discuss plans for the Gratot buildings.
February is a short month, but there is plenty going on: read about it here. We also offer extremely important information for UK citizens resident under the special arrangements of 'Brexit' - some will need to renew their residence status this year, and the onus is on them to set this in motion! Does your 'titre de sejour' card expire this year? Time to check! - and tell your friends as well!
Manche Chaplaincy magazine - it's essential reading!
Chaplaincy Council: A report of last Monday's meeting appears in the February magazine.
Lent is round the corner! The Lent Course begins on Zoom on Thurday 19th Feb - please book the dates now!
Please pray for our Chaplaincy every day:
Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for calling us
to be a Church under the banner of your Name:
may we look to you today and find clear vision for tomorrow.
May our life together bring you glory, as you make of us a living invitation
to enter the joy of your Kingdom.
Amen.
