Dear Friends,

After a splendid Advent Sunday, this week we have been putting the finishing touches to our highly anticipated Christmas Tree Festival, which is on Friday and Saturday. Please join us if you can, and invite a friend or two to come along and experience our warm and welcoming church community.

Sunday brings four more beautiful opportunities for worship: Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion at 8.00 am, Godly Play at 9.15 am, High Mass at 10.45 am, and Choral Evensong at 6.30 pm. Please remember Louis Harvey in your prayers, who is to be baptized at the High Mass.

If you missed our Advent Procession last week you can get a sense of what it was like from our YouTube broadcast, available on our channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@stmargaretsilkley/streams Thank you to all who contributed to this wonderful service.

With my prayers and best wishes,

Fr Alex
