J & P CAMPAIGN
The Justice and Peace Group invite you to support our Lenten
Campaign to help to rebuild Gaza. As we are all aware Gaza has
been totally destroyed in the recent conflict. They are a people with
nothing but what they stand in and the few belonging to they have
dragged from place to place as they were being evicted and moved
on. They have no homes to go back to. They are suffering from
hunger, thirst and all the accompanying diseases. They have no fuel,
no medicines, no electricity. They need so much just to stay alive.
The children have no opportunities for education or for medical help.
We know that whatever we give will be a mere drop in the ocean
compared to what will be required to make the country habitable
again. But as Tesco says, “Every little counts”.
There are little bricks available which you can buy for £1. If you feel
inclined you can stick the brick on one of the buildings on our ‘Little
Gaza’ on the back wall of the church. Or you can leave your brick in
the wee basket there, and the children will stick them on for you. Let’s
make an effort to listen to the voices crying out to us from Gaza. Let’s
pray for peace there and in the many war-torn countries of our world.

Shorter version:
Call, Change and Growth An Evening of Reflection: Thursday 27
March 6.30pm-8.30pm. In person at the Ignatian Spirituality
Centre, 35 Scott St. Glasgow G3 6PE. As we move into Spring
there is a natural sense of change in the air. In a time of
personal change and transition and often before concrete plans
emerge, as John O’Donohue puts it “your soul senses the world
that awaits you”. This is an evening giving an opportunity to
reflect on God’s constant call to newness and growth. If you are
able to make a donation on the night that would be most
welcome, however please do not let finance stop you from
coming along. To book visit the website (iscglasgow.co.uk) to
fill in the online form or contact
marianne.lucchesi@iscglasgow.co.uk
(NB: The above notice from the Ignatian Spirituality Centre is a repeated request, but it
now has updated booking details included.)
