4th Sunday Service -

Our 4th Sunday Services continue to be supported by the families attending the Parochial school. We have small numbers in our school this year and it is wonderful that pupils from the Junior room are reading and doing other things in worship! They are so enthusiastic and talented!

4th Sunday Service, Clonmel –

This Service of the Word is mostly conducted by the
children in the Parochial School. Parents should make every effort to bring their children to this Service, at least, each month. Sunday, 28th October, Old St Mary’s, Clonmel @ 11.00am is our next date.
Children attending other schools are welcome and can be given a part in the Service by making contact with the Rector, at least on week before – once we get to the Wednesday before the Service, the parts are allocated within the school – the initiative needs to be yours!

4th Sunday –

This has concentrated very much on the children in the Parochial School for practical reasons. We do need to include the other children in the parish, so, in conjunction with planning the Kid’s Club, the inclusion of all children in the parish will be a particular focus.
I need some help with this – perhaps parents might furnish me with their mobile/email details and we can start from there – email would work better as it would be more interactive. Come on, get involved for your childrens’ sake – if we do nothing else we will ensure that everybody knows everybody else! Looking forward to getting a flood of emails!!

Training in Reading & Helping in Worship –

Those who were confirmed in recent years or adults who might be interested are invited to attend two practical sessions in Old St. Mary’s for training in being Ministers of the Eucharist, readers of the readings or prayers in worship on Fridays 22nd October & Friday, 26th November @ 7.30pm – this will include learning to use the microphone to best advantage.

Bible Club –

This is for the under 12s and will take place once a month in Old St. Mary’s on the 3rd Friday, 20th November from 7.00pm – 8.00pm. We will focus on preparation for the 4th Sunday Service of the Word – there will be stories, singing, colouring and fun. As the Rector has completed Safeguarding Trust training and is exempt from being barred from doing youth work as a member of the Panel, she will help on these evenings.

October 25th –

The Service on this, the fourth Sunday of the month, is a Service of the Word that is oriented towards family worship. The children of our Parochial School more-or-less conduct the Service with parents taking an active part as well. We have many children in our parish who do not attend the Parochial School and it is the Rev James and my hope that more of these families would join in this service particularly. In order to spread participation wider than the school, I need you, the parents, co-operation in organising the Service. If I might have names of children who might read or lead prayers, take up the collection or do other things, please, ring me – if you get the answering machine leave a message and I will get back to you or use my mobile number.
