Dear Friends, We’re so looking forward to this weekend as we begin the season of Advent. And we begin with a bang! On Saturday we have our beautiful Plainchant Mass at 6.30 pm; and on Sunday we have our usual morning services, including Litany and High Mass at 10.45 am, followed by the Advent Procession at 6.30 pm. Please join us if you can, and invite a friend! It is a moving and atmospheric service that begins in candlelight. At our Family Service on Sunday at 9.15 am we will begin collecting presents for families in need, which will be blessed at our Christingle Service on 21 December. Please bring a present along if you can over Advent, and mark on who it might be suitable for (eg ‘Girl, aged 4 – 6’). Thank you. Please see notices below about our Christmas Tree Festival the following weekend, and all our Christmas services. With my prayers and best wishes, Fr Alex
Dear Friends, We have another lovely Sunday ahead of us as we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, which brings the liturgical year to a close. That means of course that the following weekend will be Advent Sunday, and we have our wonderful Advent Procession on the 30th at 6.30 pm – please do come along to that if you can, and invite a friend! This Sunday, however, all our services are as usual. Choral Evensong at 6.30 pm will be followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. At 10.45 am we will be delighted to receive Patrice Robinson into the Communion of the Church of England during the High Mass. Please pray for Patrice as he enters this new chapter in his journey of faith. We’re still looking for volunteers to assist with our Christmas Tree Festival in a few weeks, and sign-up sheets will be at the back of church this Sunday, if you can lend a hand with baking, serving refreshments, or welcoming. With my prayers and best wishes, Fr Alex
Dear Friends I hope you will be able to join us for one of our services this Sunday. Please see the pew sheet for notices regarding upcoming special events such as the Advent Procession and Christmas Tree Festival – and we’ll be sharing details of our programme of Christmas Services next week.With my prayers and best wishes,Fr Alex
