Our next talk takes place on Wednesday 5th November at St Joseph's Church in Chalfont St Peter (SL9 8RY). The topic is 'Baptism in the Bible' and the speaker is Deacon Brent Adonis.
The Sacrament of Baptism, rooted in the rich water symbolism of the Old Testament comes to its fulfilment in the saving events of Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection as described in the New Testament.
Deacon Brent was ordained in 2018 and has served as a Deacon at Saint Dunstan’s Bourne End and Saint Teresa’s Beaconsfield since then. Brent is actively involved in the preparation of candidates and parents of candidates for Baptism, the First Sacraments and Confirmation as well as Children’s Liturgy.

+ + + + + +
A series of monthly talks on the Holy Scriptures, looking at their relevance to us in our lives today. An initiative by the South Bucks Pastoral Area under the guidance of Fr Jerome Ituah OCD.
The aim of our sessions is to broaden our knowledge of and to discern the message the Scriptures hold for each of us and their relevance in our daily lives today. Each talk will “stand alone” and will be given by an invited guest speaker. We hope the sessions will offer guidance on reading the Scriptures and a prayerful and reflective time together.
There is no charge for the talks, but donations towards costs will be gratefully accepted. You can make a contribution by cash (donation basket in the church porch), cheque made payable to "Saint Teresa’s Beaconsfield" with "Emmaus Donation" on the reverse, or by bank transfer per details below.
