**************************************************
Today: we celebrate All Saints’ Day. It is a reminder of our connectedness as Christians to the church and our conviction that there is a spiritual connection between those in Heaven and on Earth. We will also combine it with All Souls’ Day, when we remember our own loved ones and all the faithful departed. There will be an opportunity during the service to remember our loved ones and the names of those listed at the back of church will be placed symbolically on the Lord’s table as part of our worship.
Tonight: we will welcome back to church the families of all the funerals we have officiated at in the last twelve months. The names of their loved ones will be read out and they will have the opportunity to light a candle in remembrance. You are welcome to come along to this service to support our guests. We will be serving drinks and nibbles after the service.
During this time of sacred remembrance, we bring before God the names of our loved ones who have passed from this life. We acknowledge our enduring love; we express our hope that they be eternally blessed, and we share our desire to be reunited with them in the everlasting glory made possible through the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Amen.
Now to Christmas: The proceeds of the Fair this year will be going towards our Tower Appeal. The Christmas raffle makes a major contribution to the overall takings on the day. So, we are thrilled that Angela and Charles have volunteered to oversee the raffle prizes this year. They have put a list at the back of church of items that would be gratefully received for the luxury hamper. If you are able to donate an item, please tick the list and drop the item off at the Vicar’s vestry within the next couple of weeks. Bottles, chocolates, soft toys and gifts will also be gratefully received.
There are posters at the back of church advertising the Fair. Let’s get them in as many locations as we can. We’ve also had 1000 leaflets printed listing all that’s happening in church between now and Christmas Day. 800 of them will need posting through letter boxes in our parish. If you are fit and able to take responsibility for a street, please pick them up from the back of church and be sure to get them posted in good time for the first event which is Messy Church on 23rd November. Thanks in advance!
Please remember in your prayers: Jeff Chambers, Alf Fowler, Katie, Brian Brown, Mark Price, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall and Elaine Clarke. And we remember Frank Latus, Frank Heald, Maurice Larsen and Terrance Wells and their families as funeral arrangements are being made.
