SATURDAY 3rd January
Happy New Year to you allWe return to our normal patterns of worship this week as we celebrate Epiphany and on Sunday we have the annual Shared Epiphany Lunch in Barham Church Hall starting about 12 noon. Please do come along and join in this informal social get together - all welcome, wherever you worship that morning, just bring along some food to share - There will be wine and non alcoholic drink available with donation invited towards the cost or, if you prefer, bring your own tipple.
Next Sunday (11th) will be our first Families@430 session of the year celebrating the Epiphany - If you plan to attend please email [email protected] with numbers and any special dietary needs before Tuesday (6th) evening. Please note that this year Families@430 will take place on the SECOND Sunday of the month
I am afraid I have some more very sad news for those of you who know Edmund Jackson. Sadly Edmund passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Boxing Day - just two years after losing his wife, Audrey. Edmund and Audrey were active members of Claydon and Barham Church for many years and still retained their connection with that Church even after moving to Gosbeck. Please pray for Matthew, Andrew, Catherine and all Edmund's family as they come to terms with a second loss in such a short time. Please also continue to pray for the families of Brian Greenslade and Muriel Morgan as they prepare for the funerals of their loved ones this month and for Rev Jenny as she travels alongside these families in their grief.
On a happier note Linda Preston, our Lay Evangelist, has been in touch to tell us that her ear operation was at last completed successfully on Wednesday and she is now home and starting the road to recovery. She sends her love and thanks us for the prayers and good wishes.
