Dear friends,
This Sunday is the 4th in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel reading we hear more about Jesus having a difficult time in his home synagogue, he is completely rejected and declares I tell you solemnly, no prophet is ever accepted in his own country. In so many parts of our world Jesus and his message of radical love are rejected. However all of us are called to carry that love in what we do and say, even to those dark places where it is needed so badly. Click here for the Scripture Readings.

The shelter will be located in an hotel by Euston and we are looking for people to help prepare and serve food, to change beds and wash up etc. If you are willing to volunteer please speak to Nicolas for more details.
See you on Sunday
Fr James
