Enrolment Forms, which explain who can be on the Roll, are available from James Farmer, the Electoral Roll Officer. The Roll will open from today, 2nd March. Joining the (free) Roll is a way of showing you are part of St Gabriel’s. Members of the roll may speak and vote at the annual Meeting, and join the Parochial Church Council.

If you are interested in the confirmation or would like to know more about the Christian Faith, please see Fr Owen.

LENT

LENT

Thursday Bible Study: see above.

Fridays in Lent: Stations of the Cross 7.00 p.m. in local churches. This week: St Saviours.

Giving up for Lent: Fasting and Abstinence are good ways to show we take God seriously and are sorry for our sins. We should abstain from meat on Fridays if we are aged between 14 & 60, are not with child or involved in heavy labour, or if the fast would hurt our health. In those circumstances we should give some extra money to charity or time to prayer. Who should fast is as above, except the age rule begins at 16. We fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by eating no more than one full meal and two snacks.
