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.
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
