The special readings for today…    

                                                  

First Reading ~ Colossians 3. 1-11 ~ Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Gospel ~ Luke 12. 13-21 ~ Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?" Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."                                                                                                 And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." '           "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'                                                                                                             "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."

Prayer for Anthony - Many of you who were in St Martin’s on Palm Sunday committed to pray for Anthony who was on his way to Afghanistan. Lucy sent us a message thanking everyone for their love and support on what was a very emotional Sunday for them. Anthony has arrived in Afghanistan and says all is well - although a little hot… If you want to remember who they are there is a picture of them on the notice board at St Martin’s.

*Round-up of Parish News – Sunday 1st August*

New Name for the ‘Opps’ – there is still time to tell us your ideas! We already have some good ones!

 

MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S PUDDING - A huge thank you to everyone who supported this fun evening.  The table was laden with a wide choice of tempting puddings and I am pleased to say on this occasion in excess of 30
people were willing to give into temptation!  A good time was had by all and
thanks to everyone’s generosity, GODLY PLAY gained £250. The number of
pounds gained by the participants remains a secret................

                                                                                           The Fellowship Group

And from Liz J:

Many thanks to Peter, Lesley and the Fellowship Group for this most enjoyable evening. With 31 people present, we had relaxing company and conversation and a choice of about a dozen delicious deserts ranging from ‘death by chocolate’ to ‘chocolate bread and butter pudding’,  & ‘lemon tart’ – yes, you get the picture!  There was an assortment of drinks to suit all tastes, all this sitting outside on a balmy summer’s evening.  What a wonderful way to raise over £200 for equipment for the Godly Play Room, and not a raffle ticket in sight!

 

The Saturday 30th October FREE guided tour of the British Museum is sadly fully booked. However, there is to be another one on SATURDAY 29th JANUARY 2011. It would be a good idea to book now if you are interested – and cancel later if necessary!

To book:

             020 7787 8293.  [Genesis Research & Education Foundation]
