Dear Friends,

I am pleased to be able to tell you that this evening we have reached £1000 in our Christmas Appeal so I shall be running the first of what I hope will be many 5k runs tomorrow dressed as Santa! If you have already donated thank you very much and if you can help by spreadng the word that would be fantastic. Remember I will run a Santa 5k for every thousand pounds we raise between now and December 31st. There will be photo evidence to share with you!

I can also this evening invite you to a special <strong>online carol serivce this Saturday afternoon</strong> being run by our acting Director of Music Motje Wolf. Join Motje and Sara Wilander, pianist extraordinaire, for their third virtual concert of German music for Advent and Christmas, supporting Loughborough All Saints Church. We will be singing German and English Carols, exploring where our traditions overlap. Light a candle, get your Lebkuchen ready and either sing along or just enjoy listening. To have a taster of how this might sound, please visit https://youtu.be/9JWc-8FedNo' To book your ticket, please follow this link:

This will be a much more sedate way to raise money for our Christmas Appeal!

And lastly don't forget if you would like to come to any of the special carol services the week of 21st December including Midnight Mass and Christmas Day you need to get a ticket. These can be obtained free or you can make a donation. All the details can be found by following this link https://linktr.ee/ASwHTLboro or you can phone the parish office to take the booking for you. 01509 217029.

Best Wishes

Revd Wendy
