These six areas are: 1) Preparing for and Conducting Worship, 2) Educating Children, Youth and Adults, 3) Equipping and Maintaining Facilities, 4) Caring for the Church Family, 5) Reaching Out to Serve the Community, and 6) Supporting the Wider Mission. While the allocation of funds is similar to the prior year, programs and operations are changing to better serve members and celebrate the church's 90th anniversary through a new organizational structure.

WHO Vision 2013 Powerpoint: Let’s hit the Reset button
This document proposes redefining several common church-related terms for 2013. It suggests moving from viewing church as programs inside buildings, to seeing it as the purposeful, spiritual activity of believers directed to the world. Worship is reframed from a weekly gathering to a spirit-led, sacrificial life devoted to God and others. Giving shifts from monetary donations to giving one's life for others. Obedience becomes intimate fellowship leading to transformation.
Stewarship presentation show
The parish is facing a £11,300 shortfall in its £70,700 annual budget due to insufficient planned giving from parishioners. Only 73 of 146 members currently give an average of £8.81 per week through planned giving. This is well below the deanery average of £4.27 to £13.78 per week. To cover costs, achieve its vision plans, and ensure long-term viability, the parish needs parishioners to increase planned giving, ideally to £10 or more per week. Stewardship packs will be distributed for parishioners to prayerfully consider their level of planned giving.
Introduction
This document introduces a traditional Catholic planner that aims to help families implement the beauty of the liturgy into their daily lives. The planner provides information and suggestions for celebrating traditional Catholic feast days from the pre-1962 calendar. It is meant to help families rediscover the rich heritage of these feasts and live according to the ebb and flow of the liturgical year, taking comfort in the traditions passed down over generations. While not comprehensive, it includes the most common feasts for each month and some that are special to the author's family, with extra space to add personal feasts and remembrances. The planner can also help plan a homeschool curriculum and manage appointments according to the liturgical calendar.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
