Weekly Bulletin 9th & 10th February 2013

The Apostles’ Creed
Credo, Credo, Credo Amen
I believe in God,
The Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
Credo, Credo, Credo Amen
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
On the third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
Credo, Credo, Credo Amen
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy Catholic Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And life everlasting. Amen
Credo, Credo, Credo Amen

CHURCH SPEAKERS IN THE PARISH CENTRE:
It’s a pity to see parents with their children standing in the porch during Mass. Why not pop over to the Parish Pastoral Centre if you feel your children need a little break? With the help of our newly installed speakers you will still be able to hear what is happening in the church. Feel free to return to the church after your children have had a little break.
