SLOUGH FOODBANK September is the month of harvest, and in order to improve the balance
in the wide range of products donated, they would like to invite our Parishioners, during
September, to give priority to giving Fruit Juices, Rice Pudding and Pasta/Curry Sauces, and
reduce or even avoid offering other products. By inviting other churches to donate other groups
of products they hope that they will receive good supplies of every product and that none will be
overlooked. They express their very grateful thanks for your donations throughout the year.
PARISH EVANGELISATION TEAM UPCOMING EVENTS
BIBLE COURSE A Quick Journey Through The Bible This will be the fourth running of this
course in our Parish and will start on Friday, 16th October. Most of the 60 or so people who have
taken this course have benefitted greatly from its content. The course is DVD based with small
group discussion based on questions posed by the DVD. The easy style of the presenter, Jeff
Cavins, is encouraging, informative and entertaining. If you are not sure whether this is for you,
please come to our Presentation Evening on Friday, 25th September to see extracts from the
course and talk to some of our past students. This will be a shared table event. For further
details, please contact Lisa Mennone on 01628 661843 or Bob Bryant on 01628 543650 (or
speak to either of us at the 9.45am Mass each Sunday).

THE GREAT ADVENTURE BIBLE TIMELINE This is from the same stable as the Quick
Journey mentioned above. It is for those who have taken the Quick Journey course and now
require a more in depth study. It is also open to those of you who feel more confident in your
understanding of the Bible and Salvation History. The course is in a similar format to the Quick
Journey but instead of eight weeks, it lasts for 24 weeks. For those unable to attend in the
evenings, we might be able to add a daytime course. The contact numbers are as for the Quick
Journey above. The course will start on Wednesday, 21st October. Registration deadline will be
Wednesday, 7th October.

retreat at the Bridgettine Convent in Iver Heath. The structure will be for two separate days on

wish to, we are also offering a limited number of B&B rooms for the Saturday night on a first
come, first served basis. Those of you who attended the earlier retreat will remember what an
enjoyable experience it was and Fr Simon will again be our spiritual leader. The theme is Did
not our hearts burn within us Lk24;32. For further details, please contact Lisa Mennone on
