For the next Messy Church we are looking for the empty little pots of “Stock Pots” or other similar concentrated stock.

The funeral of Mrs Connie Campbell will take place in St. Bride’s church on Tuesday 25th April at noon.

Crossreach is asking us to collect our old-style pound coins.  Boxes for this purpose can be found at the back of the church.

Newsletters from Libis and Kostelec are also available.

On May 17th, the presbytery is holding a prayer vigil, with 5 centres for prayer being open from 9 a.m. till 9 p.m.  St. Bride’s is one of the 5 centres which will be open for prayer that day, and as a hosting church we are asked to provide cover for the day, so that there is always at least one person here.  There is a sign-up sheet on the board at the rear of the church.  Those who do not sign up are invited to come in at any time to pray for the church’s work in this area.  There will be information and stimuli to prayer provided.
