Holy Cross - Special events & announcements

Ocotober :

• CENTERING PRAYER
  On Thursday 16th Oct. 8pm in Hartley Hall, Jill Benet of Contemplative Outreach will visit us to introduce the practice of the Welcoming Prayer.
  This is Centering Prayer’s powerful companion piece for turning daily life into a virtually limitless field for inner awakening.  Come and see. New comers welcome.

• CHRISTMAS DRAMA PROJECT
  We had about 15 people at the drama workshop last Sunday and it was felt that Sunday afternoons seem to be a good time to meet from 2.30 – 4.30pm. So anyone from age 10 upwards is welcome to come and join in. Adults too are welcome as we hope it will be cross generational. The director is Tim Matthews.  The performance date will be Sunday 14th December and we plan to combine this with an Advent / Christmas Carol Service.

• KOTO CONCERT IN AID OF THE PASSAGE
  There will be a Koto concert (Japanese Harp) in aid of The Passage with traditional Japanese dance on Thursday 16 October  in Westminster Cathedral Hall, Ambrosden Avenue, SW1P 1QJ at 7.00 pm. Tickets £20 from  020 7592 1856

  This is a weekend for those who find themselves alone through divorce, separation or bereavement, from 5-7 December at Aylesford Priory. Contact: Mary 01296 487 634.

• A FUTURE DATE TO NOTE
  The Christmas Fayre will be on Saturday 29th November this year. The proceeds this time will be to replace the two church boilers which will cost us £7000. So please support us on the day if you can. The grand raffle is our best fundraiser and the top prize will be £1000 cash for Christmas. Again we are hoping that 5 or 6 parishioners may combine to create the prize. If anyone has any unusual gifts to offer for raffle or auction, a signed football shirt or celebrity item    - see Fr John. Thank you.

• PILGRIMAGE TO CYPRUS
  This is to celebrate the year of St Paul.
  Dates: 14 – 20 February 2009. Cost £730 (approx) travelling with Tours for Churches.
  The group will stay at Limassol and travel out each day on various excursions to Famagusta, Nicosia, Paphos, the Troodos mountains etc. Find your own room partner. We shall be accompanied by Fr John Farrell OP who is a scripture scholar and specialist on St Paul.
  If you are interested add your name to the list in the sacristy.
