29th  AUGUST 2010
TWENTY-SECOND ORDINARY SUNDAY
 
To pray and to offer true worship requires the virtue of humility, for we acknowledge God as infinitely and unimaginably superior to ourselves.  Jesus calls us today to embrace humility, after his own example.

A special welcome today to Callum Jake Mayor, Tyler Jay Holland and Kyra-Louise Jayne Sutton, who are to be baptised, and to their families and friends.
