November 1994
Peace Prayer of St Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace;
Where there is hatred...let me sow love;
Where there is injury...pardon;
Where there is doubt...faith;
Where there is despair...hope;
Where there is darkness... light;
Where there is sadness...joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled... as to console,
to be understood...as to understand,
to be loved...as to love.
For
it is in giving...that we receive;
it is in pardoning...that we are pardoned;
it is in dying...that we are born to eternal life. Amen
The 64th AGM on Saturday 8 October1994 elected a new committee. Names, but not addresses or phone numbers are at the of the Ramble List
Our thanks to the outgoing committee for their support and hard work during
the last year. It will be a hard act to foUow.
Our thanks especially to all the members who supplied material for the full and varied programmes during the year.
A reminder to all ramblers to bring torches as the evenings are getting sborter.
Don't forget to pay your membership subscriptions for 1994-95. Cheques for £3 payable to "St Francis of Assisii Catholic Ramblers Club" should be sent to Kevin Doyle. This is the last year for £3 subscriptions as the AGM decided on a slight increase to £4 from 1995-96.
FinlIy I would like to wish you all a happy Christmas.
