Deacon John Writes:
The following is based on an article found in the diocesan newsletter last week:
The kitchens in our homes are surely the centres of our family lives. They are where we prepare the meals that we eat and in many cases they are where we sit down to eat. I am sure you have had many conversations with family by the oven door or during the clearing up and washing up or stacking the dishwasher. They are frequently where the events of the day are recalled and discussed. They are also the place where treats and night drinks are prepared. Think for a moment about all the meals that have been prepared there, plus of course the snacks in between the main meals. Do we realise that the Bible has much to say about food and fellowship as so many events happen around food and the building of communities. Both the Old and New Testaments frequently describe the food we need to eat for our living as well as the spiritual food we also need for our well-being. Jesus regularly ate with his followers both before and after his death and resurrection. It was, of course, through the Last Supper event with his chosen disciples that he set up the meal that is still celebrated here in this community and in all the communities all over the world – the Eucharist.
New Deanery Website & Newsletter:
New Deanery Website & Newsletter to help with regular communication across our deanery, especially relating to the formation of a single parish, we have developed a temporary website which can be found at www.eastbourne-stleonards.org.uk. The website also has the Summer issue of the deanery newsletter to read online. A few printed copies of the deanery newsletter are at the back of church for those without online access (once read though please return for others to read.) Thank you.
St George’s Flowers:
ST GEORGE’S FLOWERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: We desperately need help from you if you can arrange flowers in a vase, as we are becoming greener we are using less oasis, vases are the way forward. With the costs of flowers, I have been using some artificial flowers at the same time. Fresh flowers are not lasting long enough for the week day Masses. I am seriously considering flowers only at the altar, leaving out the statue of Mother Mary and Jesus’s Sacred Heart statue. If you think you can arrange flowers in a vase and have ideas to help please let me know. A.S.A.P. Cathy Hollingdale.
Tea/Coffee at St George’s
The tea and coffee group at St George’s need at least 2 more volunteers to join their happy ‘band’, helping with teas and coffee after Sunday Mass. You would probably cover one Sunday per month and help out occasionally, to cover holidays etc. Please see Teresa Leahy in the Hall after Mass or contact her on:- 07935 409176, if you can help? Thank you very much.

St George’s Mill Hill Red Boxes:
I think the boxes are all in and being counted. The next count is December. I thank you all for your contributions. Those of you who are using alternative ways to pay, these will all be counted for St George’s grand total next year. The alternative ways to pay are in the special report book given out after Mass a week ago. There will be more leaflets later with ways to pay in them. Also, I think it is a good idea to have a red box at home as a reminder of your commitment to the Missionary’s, they are at the back of the church in the porch. Many thanks for your patience and cooperation. Cathy your new local secretary for Missio.
