1ST SUNDAY of LENT, Year B, 17Th & 18Th February 2018 St Edward, Coquet Avenue, Whitley Bay, NE26 1EE Immaculate Heart of Mary, Church Close, Monkseaton, NE25 9PG Our Lady and St Edmund, Station Road, Backworth, NE27 0RU 1ST SUNDAY OF LENT, Year B, 17th & 18th February 2018 Day of Prayer for the Candidates for the Sacraments SUNDAY READINGS REFLECTION Noah was a good man, a man of integrity who walked with God. He gave thanks to God for saving him and his family from the flood. God in return promises never to inflict the same punishment on man again despite our recurring sinfulness. Each of the covenants that God makes emerges from man’s alienation, there is no pretence that we are not fallible, sinful human beings. Lent is a time when we can recognise this, when we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again. After his baptism by John, Jesus is driven by the Spirit into the wilderness, to confront his adversary. He was there for forty days, overcame temptation and then returned to carry out his mission. We can use the forty days of Lent in a similar way, to understand ourselves better, accept the blessings of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and look forward to Easter. Deacon Terry LENT & HOLY WEEK 2018 - JOURNEYING TOGETHER A Lent Reflection Group will be available on Friday 23rd February, 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd March at 10.45am in the Upper Meeting Room at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.

We are also invited to support the DePaul Trust’s project: ‘Forty Nights of Nightstop’ - and walk through Lent with the homeless. Leaflets and boxes will be distributed this weekend. 23rd February is CAFOD Friday Family Fast Day.

He has done this for 50 years and raised over £50,000. Unfortunately, John is no longer able to continue due to age and suffering a stroke. I’ll still collect used stamps and send them to St Joseph's Home in Newcastle, if parishioners would still be happy to save them. Ann Donnelly, Our Lady’s & St Edmund’s Church.

On Sunday 11th March it is proposed that we walk from church to church within our parish as our contribution to the total. This can be as short or as long as you wish. We realise that transport will be required to ferry people back to their cars. This is just 'early warning' of the event. We will keep you up to date with plans once the steering group has met. PARISH CHOIR FOR EASTER We hope to have a choir with representatives from all our Churches for the Triduum Services of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil.
