This weeks reading:
The Lords Supper
Mark 14:12-16,22-26
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?
So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Say to the owner of the house he enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.
The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take it; this is my body. Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many, he said to them.
I tell you the truth, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.
When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

We enter into the Season of the Year, which is often called ‘Ordinary Time’, for which the colour of Green is worn. This is the predominant colour for the rest of the year and signals our call to grow in the faith.

Services
Mass is celebrated each day at All Saints, a full list of services and prayers (along with times) is available on our services page.
Our next Parish Priest
The diocese of Birmingham have invited priests to apply to be our next parish priest in these words:
“A vibrant, dynamic, mission-minded congregation in the inner city with a strong modern Catholic spirituality seeks a priest who will value these strengths and further develop the contribution of lay people and work with children, young people and families. There is an excellent modern vicarage on site”.
Please continue to pray over the next few weeks that a man of prayer with vision and enthusiasm will be appointed as our new parish priest. What can you do?
1. Firstly pray every day that God will guide us and whoever will come to be with us so that God’s will may be done.
2. Stay on track. So far most people have been faithful to All Saints during this interregnum. One or two people have begun to slip which is sad because all their friends here at All Saints miss them and Christ feels pain if any of his beloved flock are lost. If you know anyone who is less regular than they were then give them a ring or see them and keep them in Christ’s fold.
Fr. David's Licensing
We hope to arrange a coach to see Fr David’s Licensing on 2nd September at the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Reading. The Bishop of Reading will license him, while the Archdeacon of Berkshire will install him. Our own Bishop of Ebbsfleet will celebrate the Mass. A coach will leave from All Saints at about 4.30pm to get to Reading in good time for the Mass which will begin at 7pm, and will depart Reading not later than 10pm and return about 11.30ish. If you would like to come along see Doreen Thompson to register your interest. There will be a nominal £5 just to cover the cost of the coach.
