The proposal, if agreed, will have the benefit of continuing to develop high quality education in the two schools. <br /><br />Last week a letter was sent to a number of interested parties including all parents/carers who have children in the schools. This letter sets out more fully the reasons for the proposal to federate and also sets out a range of advantages. The letter also explains how and where responses are to be sent. <br /><br />Federation essentially means that both schools will continue to be separate establishments but with a shared leadership and management structure at Headteacher and Governing Body levels. It will enhance the quality of education provision in both schools and in no way diminish it. <br /><br />If you wish to have a copy of the proposal document then please visit the school.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>St. Joachim Red Boxes - Counting Time</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Parish</category><dc:date>2009-04-24T16:55:43+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/635fe87142f107a2a701c43c98bb5efc-510.html#unique-entry-id-510</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/635fe87142f107a2a701c43c98bb5efc-510.html#unique-entry-id-510</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Would the St. Joachim APF Collectors please bring in your Red Boxes on Sunday.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Service for Fr.

It is particularly touching that you should bless us with your gift this year when everyone is feeling the effects of the financial crisis. However your gift will be appreciated all the more by our sisters in their efforts to maintain the high standards in their parish schools and the school for the children who are both deaf and dumb. In the latter school the children whose age ranges from six to sixteen are boarders since they live very far from the school. Besides that they lack the very basic educational supplies such as books, paper, pencils etc which we take so much for granted. None of our schools receive any state assistence either for equipment or salaries. So your gift will be put to very good use. Thank you all very much again . Be assured of the prayers and gratitude of our Cameroonian sisters and wishing you all the fullness of Joy and peace in the Risen Lord!<br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Thanks from Eddie Hemington</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Parish</category><dc:date>2009-04-17T10:50:40+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/16ef3732ad4126a8c2e27817c08ed5e6-507.html#unique-entry-id-507</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/16ef3732ad4126a8c2e27817c08ed5e6-507.html#unique-entry-id-507</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Eddie thanks everyone who attended Ellen&rsquo;s Funeral Mass and for the prayers, cards and help.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Summer Fayre&#x2c; Saturday June 6th</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Social</category><dc:date>2009-05-15T10:28:13+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/de1c390b32cfb257adbe50e0f0c2a729-506.html#unique-entry-id-506</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/de1c390b32cfb257adbe50e0f0c2a729-506.html#unique-entry-id-506</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[This, unfortunately, has been cancelled due to not enough people coming forward to help with preparations and on the day.<br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Social Committe - May 11th</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Social</category><dc:date>2009-04-17T10:47:45+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/3992bae0e29b514e6ca4f9a61c27284b-505.html#unique-entry-id-505</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/3992bae0e29b514e6ca4f9a61c27284b-505.html#unique-entry-id-505</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Next meeting is on Monday May 11th at 7.00pm in Parish Rooms.

Barry has mentioned this new resource made available on the Internet by the Bible Society at www.biblesociety.org.uk/lectio <br /><br />From this weekend, our parishes web site will have this material online for each week, to be found on &ldquo;<a href="../page4/page18/page18.html" rel="self" title="This Week&#39;s Readings">This Week&rsquo;s Readings</a>&rdquo; web page. Take a look - they really are worth the time. Let me know what you think by emailing me at tcrooks@mac.com<br /><br />History<br />Lectio divina dates back to the early Church Fathers around 300 AD. The four steps were first recorded by a monk, Guigo Cartujo, in 1173. These steps Lectio (Reading), Meditatio (Meditation), Oratio (Prayer) and Contemplatio (Contemplation) remain central today although methods di<span style="font:12px &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;, LucidaGrande, Verdana, sans-serif; ">ffer.<br /><br /></span>Overview <br />In essence lectio divina is a simple way to meet with the Lord through reflection and prayer based on Holy Scripture. It is not a study method. Background knowledge can be helpful but is not essential. <br />Used in groups a structure is necessary but for individuals the steps need not be followed rigidly. Our aim is meeting God, not just completing the steps themselves. So when the Lord impresses something on us we need to stop and wait. We can always come back to the steps another time. We don&rsquo;t want to lose what God is saying to us. <br /><br />LECTIO &ndash; READING <br />Reading the Scripture passage humbly and prayerfully is the foundation for everything else that follows and cannot be rushed. So begin with a prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to &lsquo;lead you into all the truth&rsquo; (John 16:13).<br /><br />MEDITATIO &ndash; MEDITATION <br />Meditation deepens our appreciation of the passage and helps us to explore its riches. We read in 2 Timothy 3:16 that &lsquo;All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instructions for right living&hellip;&rsquo; So approach Scripture in faith expecting God to speak to you. He may reveal something of himself to you. He might highlight an attitude or behaviour of yours that needs to change. He might show you a promise to encourage and strengthen you.<br /><br />ORATIO &ndash; PRAYER <br />Prayer opens up a conversation between God and us. In the Psalms we see how the writers pour out their feelings to God, often mixing hopes and fears side by side. God values our honesty. We can&rsquo;t hide anything from him anyway. Using the words of the responsorial psalm can help us but we can also use our own words to have a heart-to-heart conversation with a very special friend. <br />Through prayer we make our response to the light God&rsquo;s Word has shed on how we are living our lives. Now we can bring what is happening in our own life and in our community before God. We speak and listen, listen and reflect &ndash; it is a conversation with God.<br /><br />CONTEMPLATIO &ndash; CONTEMPLATION: <br />To help us interpret the Gospel reading the Liturgy provides two further Scripture readings. Reﬂ ecting on these can both enrich our understanding of the text and bring into focus a response we may need to make to the Lord.<br />Contemplation gives us the opportunity for an intimate time of communion with God. Be still before God and invite him in. Few words, if any, are necessary here. Enjoy time in his presence. Just be with him and let him love you. Let him refresh your soul.<br /><br />Review <br />After you have finished your time of reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation you may want to jot down in a notebook any experiences or thoughts that particularly impressed you. You may find it helpful to look back at these later.<br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>200 Club Christmas &#x26; December Draw</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Social</category><category>Parish</category><dc:date>2008-12-12T14:51:41+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/b7aa3fbef4ae9e41e52b09b5b9cb69c8-457.html#unique-entry-id-457</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/b7aa3fbef4ae9e41e52b09b5b9cb69c8-457.html#unique-entry-id-457</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Proposed prizes for the Christmas and December draw are as follows; <br /><br />December <br />Two &pound;50.00 Prizes <br />Four &pound;25.00 Prizes <br /><br />Christmas <br />Five &pound;100.00 Prizes <br /><br />A total of &pound;700.00 up for grabs.

These eight podcasts, one for each of seven weeks from Advent through to Jesus' baptism along with an introduction, are designed to help people pray through Advent and Christmastime. They are free of charge and can be used alongside the 'Walk with Me' journey of prayer booklets for Advent 2008, which are published and available from Alive Publishing <a href="http://www.cjmmusic.co.uk/liturgy/walkwithme" rel="external">www.alivepublishing.co.uk</a> telephone: 01782 745 600, or as a stand alone pause for prayer and reflection in this busy time of the year.<br /><br />Each weekly podcast is intended to create a space for contemplation and prayer. Using Scripture, music and reflection, themes from the Sunday scripture are developed alongside the teaching given by Pope Benedict during World Youth Day earlier in the year. They also draw heavily on a Christmas retreat given by Archbishop Joseph Ratzinger back in 1977, whose style and the pattern of thought are very much the same as those of the Pope.<br /><br />Archbishop Vincent said: "In choosing the overall theme of 'Building a house for the Lord' we introduce each week a consideration of the tasks which face us, we must be preparing ourselves and our world for the coming of Christ, that new creation that is seen is his resurrection from the dead."<br /><br />To download the podcasts visit: <a href="http://www.cjmmusic.co.uk/liturgy/walkwithme" rel="external">www.cjmmusic.co.uk/liturgy/walkwithme</a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Ashburnham Weekend of Reflection - CANCELLED</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Parish</category><category>Pastoral</category><dc:date>2008-12-20T08:12:42+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/dae2df800e3119cdac365d9dd12a8fda-454.html#unique-entry-id-454</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/dae2df800e3119cdac365d9dd12a8fda-454.html#unique-entry-id-454</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The numbers of people who showed interest in the proposed weekend next September were insufficient to confirm the provisional booking.

This helps to make your school a happy one. <br />&bull; You have some great opportunities for art, design and technology, and sport. <br />&bull; You have a really good understanding of the different people who live in Britain today. <br />&bull; All adults take superb care of you and ensure that you are safe. <br />&bull; Your headteacher, teachers and school governors are working hard to make the school even better. <br /><br />This is what I am asking the school to do: <br /><br />&bull; For those of you who find writing difficult, make sure your work is not too hard and you have more chances to practise important skills such as spelling. <br />&bull; Help teachers in charge of subjects to be more involved in checking how well you are learning. <br /><br />I hope you will continue to enjoy school and continue to try hard in all you do. <br /><br />Best wishes <br /><br />Eileen Chadwick Lead inspector <br /></em><em><br /></em>You can download and read the full 9 page report <a href="../page4/page15/page15.html" rel="self" title="Parish Newsletters">here</a>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Advent Lunches - Start on December 5th</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Pastoral</category><dc:date>2008-11-21T11:21:18+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/2cc398541e4876545f35a26b00f4ef7b-447.html#unique-entry-id-447</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/2cc398541e4876545f35a26b00f4ef7b-447.html#unique-entry-id-447</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Advent lunches to support the work of CAFOD will begin on Friday, December 5th after the 12pm Mass at Christ the King.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Irish Night - Thanks</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Social</category><dc:date>2008-12-20T08:10:08+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/203decdd264f46f78dfbf5c89e3aedbc-446.html#unique-entry-id-446</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/203decdd264f46f78dfbf5c89e3aedbc-446.html#unique-entry-id-446</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks to everyone who helped or came to the Irish Night.

They have each given many decades of service to the people in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. We want to help our retired priests live independent lives for as long as possible. So the Diocese provides accommodation and pastoral care. Although a priest "retires" from parish duties he is still in ministry and may, if he wishes, assist parishes with his services. As time goes on a retired priest, like any other aged person, may require more and more assistance to continue living at home. The Diocese ensures he receives all necessary personal care. Eventually he may need to move to a residential or nursing home. The Diocese helps locate suitable accommodation. Caring for the elderly, we all know, is costly but is something we do not want to skimp on. In 2007, the Diocese spent &pound;272,000 on our retired priests. So please help by giving generously to the Retired Priests collection this weekend. Your donation can also be Gift Aided and the tax rebate benefits your parish. With grateful thanks. <br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Remembrance Sunday - November 9th</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Parish</category><dc:date>2008-11-06T11:39:59+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/b2f61942f391e92c9c89f4124c220fbd-434.html#unique-entry-id-434</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/b2f61942f391e92c9c89f4124c220fbd-434.html#unique-entry-id-434</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[On this day at 4.00pm at Christ the King we will have our annual Service, a time of prayer not only for those who have died during War, but also for all our friends and relatives who have died. <br />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Welcome Back&#x21;</title><dc:creator>tcrooks@mac.com</dc:creator><category>Parish</category><dc:date>2008-10-28T09:35:57+00:00</dc:date><link>http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/73b062f1cc8b89d70125d865834af98a-433.html#unique-entry-id-433</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.christthekingchurch.org.uk/page12/files/73b062f1cc8b89d70125d865834af98a-433.html#unique-entry-id-433</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Welcome back to Father Barry after his epic adventure down under.
