Cross Denominational Mission
News page for March 2010:-
Consecration of Chrism
I hope that everyone's Lenten observances are meaningful and uplifting.
It will soon be Easter. Talking of which, this will be the first Maundy
Thursday that I will have consecrated chrism and blessed holy oils. I
am grateful to Bishop John Kersey for his advice and guidance and I have put an order of service for the blessing on the resource page.
As
ever, I hope that the service orders will be used freely and that
Christ may be served by having service material and resources available
to all who need them. Does anyone have some time to prepare a few
service orders for us? If you think you can type up either an original
or modified service suitable for use in worship, please let me know.
Better again, if you think you know of someone who might like to do
this introduce them to us and we may gain another helper....
Oscar Del Santo
The
LCAC has a new seminarian, in Oscar Del Santo. Like our other
seminarians, Oscar will study at the Sophia School as he develops his
serving. Living in Spain, but a regular visitor to England, Oscar is a
linguist and business negotiator. All of us at CDM want to welcome
Oscar to our sister church the LCAC.
In Stitches
Does anyone know of someone who likes sewing and is not busy? This is,
I'm aware already, a contradiction in terms! We'd like to form a
relationship with someone who can assist us, all of us, with odd
adjustments to vestments and altar cloths and the like. Bishop Alistair
had a connection with someone, who assisted with vestments for the Valiant Order of
St John the Baptist, but she is unable to assist any more
due to the other commintments. It would be handy to have someone we
could ask to help with those important little jobs. Whilst not able to
employ such a person, we would naturally expect to pay for any repairs
or amendments to vestments. Start searching everybody!
Changes at LCAC
As
mentioned in last months CDM news the program of changes are slowly coming about.
You'll notice that the Companions of the Cross and Passion are creating
and mantaining their own web pages, as are the Order of Ave Maria. They
are still found on the LCAC church website, of course, but it means
that those areas specific to those orders run their own sites. This
means that we have a network of websites, all interlinked giving us a
greater web presence as a church and as individual orders. This
devolution also reduces the 'central' workload and makes the whole
church more responsive and inclusive.
PrayerTree
Mike
Young reports that our PrayerTree list is quietly growing too, with a
trickle of new people joining us in our prayers for the World, for
others and our Churches too. However, we've all been rather busy and
haven't sent in as many requests as perhaps we should have. So please
keep sending in the prayer
requests to our PrayerTree. prayertreeLCAC@live.co.uk
