ADVENT PRAYER RESOURCES

At the back of church are leaflets “Watching and Waiting” which contain prayer resources issued by Bishop Sophie and the diocese.

We also have Advent prayer cards at the shop—these are free to take, though a small donation would be helpful.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES

Do take leaflets with details of our Christmas services from the back of church and share them with friends, family or neighbours.

CHILDREN’S SOCIETY

The parish has long supported the work of the Children’s Society. If you would like to make a donation to them this year, please take one of the envelopes from the back of church and bring it back at Christmas with your donation enclosed.

CHRISTMAS CARDS

Please don’t leave Christmas cards for others at the back of church, as they often get left there. Please give them directly to your friends.

RAFFLE

Tickets are now available for our Christmas raffle—get yours today! Tickets are £1 each, and the raffle will be drawn after the carol service on Sunday 21 December
