There are 70 Foyers world wide. The main charism of the community

WE NEED YOU!!
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal is like
a big family and we all need each other to help us in our
Christian walk. Please read below for details of how you can
help:
WE ARE UPDATING OUR PRAYER GROUP LIST!
The NSC is updating our prayer group list and if you have
a prayer group you should have received a letter from Eileen
O’Kane asking you for your details. Please return the
forms as soon as possible. If you haven’t received one,
because our contact details are wrong, or you have started
a new group or your prayer group has stopped, please write
and let her know. It is really important that we have an up
to date list, as we often get requests from people moving
into a new area who want the details of local prayer groups.
Write to Eileen at 4 Larkswood Court, The Avenue, Highams
Park, London E4 9SF or email eileenalana50talktalk.net
COULD YOU HELP US DISTRIBUTE GOODNEWS IN YOUR PRAYER GROUP?
We are also asking someone in each prayer group, who might
be willing, to volunteer to act as a Goodnews Sale/return
agent for the group. People who don’t have the funds
for a year’s subscription will often buy one if someone
takes the responsibility for promoting it in their group.
The seller won’t be out of pocket as you only pay for
the copies you sell. If Goodnews in the long term is to continue
we need to keep the sales of the magazine up, so please help
us do this. Or you might think of buying a friend a gift subscription.
Contact Goodnews 020 7352 5298 or write to Goodnews, Allen
Hall, 28 Beaufort Street, London SW3 5AA or email ccrukonetel.com
NEW PRAYER GUIDE FOR PENTECOST
We have also produced a special new prayer guide for Easter
to Pentecost. See the News page for
further details. Please help us to promote this too.
INTERCESSION NETWORK
The Lord seems to be calling us in a special way to a time
of intercession for our society, for the Church and the Catholic
Charismatic Renewal in particular and its leaders. Those who
would be interested in joining the special intercessors network
co-ordinated by Fiona Hendy, please contact her to receive
the monthly intercessors’ letter of things to pray for
and news of what the group feel the Lord is saying. This is
particularly suitable for those who are not able to travel
to a regular prayer group. The network have a day of prayer
and fasting the 2nd Friday of the month. Contact House of
the Open Door Community, Childswickham House, Childswickham,
nr Broadway, Worcs WR12 7HH tel 01386 852084
DID YOU ENJOY " UNBELIEVABLE" LAST MONTH'S TESTIMONY
MAGAZINE?
 Last
month's testimony magazine was produced to act as an evangelistic
aid for people wanting to share the Gospel with their neighbours.
Stories of people's personal encounters and experiences of
God are an excellent and non-threatening way of showing others
how God is at work in people's lives through conversion, healing
and Divine Providence. The key to using it effectively is
to think of someone who is in a similar situation to one of
the testimonies in the magazine - ie has a son who is wayward
(Glitz to God) or is worried about finding somewhere to live
(The Lord Provides) or someone who is having to cope with
bereavement (Remembering Jimmy), and pointing out the relevant
article to them and suggesting that they might find it encouraging.
When they have read the article, this can be followed up with
a chat about their reaction to the story and an opportunity
to share something of your own faith journey. If you don't
know someone who has the same situation as the stories mentioned,
why don't you ask them simply for their feedback? Say Goodnews
a Catholic magazine you receive regularly has brought out
this little book of Catholic human interest stories, and that
the Goodnews would be grateful for their feedback about price,
content, size etc. Asking would this be the kind of thing
they would buy themselves. We actually would be interested
in knowing the answers to these questions so do let us know.
Order more copies too. ONLY £1 each including postage
from the Goodnews Office.
