No Excuse Sunday

-






To make it possible for everyone to attend Church next Sunday, we are going to have a Special "No Excuse Sunday"


  1. Beds will be placed in the porch for those who say, " Sunday is my only day for a lie in"
  2. There will be a special area at the back of the Church with sofas for those who feel that the pews are two hard 
  3. Eye drops will be available for those with tired eyes from watching TV until late on Saturday evening
  4. Steel helmets will be provided for those who say "The roof will cave in if I ever attended Church"
  5. Blankets will be distributed to those who feel the Church is too cold; fans for those say it is too hot.
  6. Scorecards will be avalible for those who count the hypocrites present.
  7. Slow cookers will be available on loan (collect after Mass this weekend) for those who can't come to Church and cook lunch for their family.
  8. We will distribute "we're giving Enough" badges for those who feel the Church is always asking for money ; "Pay up" badges for those who think that you don't give enough.
  9. Mass will be broast outdoors (courtesy of the new sound system) for those who prefer to experience God in nature.
  10. Doctors and Nurses will be in attendance for those who plan to be sick on Sunday. 
  11. The sanctuary will be decorated with both Christmas poinsettias and Easter Lilies for those who never seen Church without them
  12. Gas masks will be issued to those who don't like the smell of the incense; miniature thuribles for those who do.
  13. We will provide hearing aids for those who can't hear Father and cotton wall those who would rather not. .

Fashion tips for what its worth.

The Other day I had an Conversation with someone about Fashion. I am not sure if many of you know but I used to work in Top shop in Oxford Circus. So I thought I woulds share with you some of the trend that might look good for the Summer of 2012.  First of all I am really pleased to say that there seems to be a little colour back into the high street this season. This must be because of the bad weather that people want to wear bold and primary colours. Although I am not sure about the hat in the lower picture. Am I old fashioned enough to say that hats and woolen hats should be winter wear and not summer wear. Fresh and clean colours are in this year.   Good but loose the hat. The black and grey days are over and we can see that these are both stylish from the ladies but also a Casual look from the lads. But there are some fashions that are clearly wrong and should be left alone. See the Green Jumper down below. I don't really know where to ...

More than many Sparrows

A number of years ago I worked in Oxford Street in Top shop. I was working in the exchange and refund department. I was suprized by the amount of people that used fashion to hide who they really were. The one thing that they would say quite a lot was that they shopped and brought clothes to make them selves feel better. Now this is not a homily against retail therapy or against fashion shops but I have to say I met a lot of people that used this and other things to get over the pain that they did not either like themselves and therefore feel love of another person.  It is true to say that there are many times in our lives where we are afraid to be our true authentic selves. We hide behind the masks that we portray. We are one thing to one person and another to someone else. We try our best and hardest to try and please everyone where we almost become like a camelion. I suppose the question I have is why do we do this. Why do we waste so much energy trying to be all things to a...

Jesus and Travel plans

Whenever I go away on holiday or just over night I always without fail over pack: I take loads of stuff away with me and half the stuff I don’t actually use or need. In my mind I have the phrase going through my head “Oh I might just need that.” And then when we get back we actually realised that I did not need it at all.  Basically I do not travel light. I would have then great difficulties I think being a disciple. I would not be able to cope with the travel plans that Jesus would have given me. No spare tunic no, no money, no travel insurance.  Jesus tells us that all we need his authority and the gift of ourselves the talents and gifts that we have been given by God. Mark says nothing in this Gospel about what the disciples said in their missionary activity the most important thing here is presence and through that presence they are witnesses to the Gospel. So what do the disciples tells us about what it means to be Gospel. The phrase that comes into my mind ...
