12 APRIL 2015 – DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
We share in the Resurrection of Christ. We do not need to seek him in secret places: He comes to meet
us as soon as we turn to him.
HAPPY EASTER AND WELCOME to St John’s today! We’re happy to have you worship with
us. The full Order of Mass can be found in the Mass booklet, which you may take home with you.
The hymns are found in the blue hymnals. Please return your hymnals to the Sidesmen at the
end of Mass.
CHILDREN’S LITURGY. For children 4 and up a Children’s Liturgy of the Word (a
programme of teaching and catechesis) is available in the St Gregory Room below church. Children
leave after the Vidi Aquam and return at the Offertory for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
A NURSERY ROOM for our youngest worshippers (ages 0-3) is available downstairs. Children
are welcome to remain throughout Mass, but if you, or your child, would be more comfortable,
please use the door by the pulpit to take your child downstairs at any point.
REFRESHMENTS & FELLOWSHIP. Following the Parish Mass we gather in the Cross Hall,
adjacent to church, for refreshments and fellowship. Tea, coffee, juice, and a selection of goodies
are available. If you are new, please make yourself known to the Clergy and congregation.

OUR CAPTIAL CAMPAIGN PRAYER
O LORD AND HEAVENLY FATHER, strengthen us, we beseech thee, in love to one another,
and increase in us the love of thyself. Deliver us from self-seeking in the work that we undertake
for thee; and grant us grace faithfully to serve thee with one heart, mind and soul in the fellowship
of thy Church on earth, that rock upon which we build, that hereafter we may be united in the
communion of Blessed Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, and of all thy saints; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
