HARVEST FAST DAY Friday 6 October
This year, CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) Harvest Fast Day focuses on their work in El Salvador. Farmers there live on and depend upon their land. The harvest they reap is used to put food on the table, and sold to buy essential items such as clothes and medicine. Our partner, Solidaridad CVX, are working with farmers to provide training and to reintroduce native seeds that were used generations ago. These seeds are strong and able to grow in warm, rainy climates, helping ensure good crops for farmers the ability to provide for their families. CAFOD FAST DAY Giving
Envelopes will be made available at all churches. Please give generously to help some of our poorest
neighbours.
YOUTH CLUB YOUTH CLUB Weekly on Fridays from 6.30-8pm at St Augustine's. For children in Years 5,6,7 & 8. £1 subs.

A Harvest Fast Day Reflection
“This is what we are about: We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities. It is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord’s grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the end results, but we are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a future not our own.”
CAFOD
SUNDAY SMILE: A
woman was trying hard to
get the ketchup out of the
jar. During her struggle
the phone rang so she
asked her 4-year-old
daughter to answer the
phone. “Mummy can't
come to the phone right now.
She's hitting the bottle." WEBSITE OF THE WEEK:

Please turn off your phone

"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him." Proverbs 30:5
A Child’s View: Danny’s teacher asked him to write about God. This is what he wrote: ‘One of God’s main jobs is making people. He makes these to put in place of the ones who die so there will be enough people to take care of things here on earth. He doesn’t make grownups, he just makes babies, I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn’t have to take up his valuable time teaching them to walk and talk. He can just leave that up to mothers and fathers. I think it works out pretty good. God’s second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, because some people like priests and nuns pray at other times besides bedtimes, and Granny and Grandad pray every time they eat, except for snacks. God doesn’t have time to listen to the radio or watch TV on account of this. Because God hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears unless he has thought of a way to turn it down. God sees and hears everything and is everywhere, which keeps him pretty busy. So you shouldn’t go wasting his time asking for things that aren’t important, or go over parents’ heads and ask for something they said you couldn’t have. It doesn’t work anyway.”
