sexuality, race, social standing, belief, age or ability - and believing that
God calls us equally to share that unconditional love with all people,

With Pentecost dawns the age of the Spirit.
Now the flame of heaven rests on every believer.
Strong and weak, women and men tell out your word;
the young receive visions, the old receive dreams.
We are committed to the nurturing, protection and safeguarding of all: With the new wine of the Spirit they proclaim your reign of love.

Though I can’t quite believe it, this month will mark 8 years since I was
ordained deacon, and my seventh anniversary as a priest, and I note that
I’ve been here nearly 5 years - thank you God for all that has been, and to all
that shall be: yes! As we give thanks for God’s call to service for all the
baptised, I’m delighted to welcome (back) Jacqueline Hely and Nigel Hossle-

For this year’s Summer 12 fundraising I will be reading from the bible. If
we gloss over the various disputes about who wrote which of the New
Testament letters, there are 13 letters written by Paul, the last of which
is Philemon, which is just 25 verses long. I will therefore do a reading
of the other 12 letters of Paul, in Saint George’s church, one Saturday
over the summer. It should take around five hours. The intention is for
church to be open, and depending on restrictions at the time maybe
refreshments might be possible. Watch this space for further
announcements in due course.

From Fr Ian
Each year, on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday (June 3rd this year), is the
festival of Corpus Christi (Latin for body of Christ). It is celebrated in the
Catholic church, and in many Anglican churches, in which it is also called
‘Thanksgiving for the Institution of Holy Communion’. While it is true that we
also commemorate this on Maundy Thursday, there are several other
themes on that day, and demand from various quarters resulted in Corpus
Christi first being celebrated in the mid-13th century.
Holy Communion is also called The Eucharist and The Lord’s Supper. Deanery News......
Eucharist comes from the Greek word meaning thanksgiving. The Lord’s
Supper is a term used by Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians. Indeed, From this month, the Ashton, Oldham East and Oldham West

While Christians differ about exactly how or what form it takes, we
recognise a special presence of Christ in the celebration of Holy
Communion. We are given a foretaste of the heavenly banquet. We give
thanks for all that Christ has done for us. And we do this in remembrance of
Him. Amen.
God bless you all.
