What does Holy Week mean to you?
Which of its days are most meaningful to you and why?
#forourprayers
we pray this week for ourselves and those who are dear to us
and if we want to – also in the context of our Lenten journey and as we draw closer to Holy Week
#forthehealingofthenations
we pray for all who work for Peace in our world

#comingsandgoings
we welcome those new among us and pray they will soon feel at home at St Catherine’s
there were at least three sets of new faces in church yesterday and it is impressive how our Welcome Team aka the three wise men looked after them but it is for all of us to keep an eye out to see if anyone is struggling to find their way in the black book ………… or needing to be introduced to people over coffee
