Week beginning Sunday 20th November
Christmas Bazaar - 3rd December 10.30am - 12.30pm
Please take a red poster and put it up on your gate or in a window. More
help is
needed on the day, please commit yourself to a couple of hours on that
morning
either selling or buying. Goods for the Bazaar can be brought to church
next
Sunday but preferably between 6pm and 8pm on the Friday evening.
We need, Pink items, good white elephant, newish books, cakes, pickles,
good
quality toys, bottles. Could anyone make a Christmas cake for guess the
weight?
Raffle tickets are now on sale - please collect them from the back of
church or
see Adrian or Sheila. There are only 5 Sundays, including today, before
the Bazaar,
so we need to start selling asap. Please take them and sell to family,
friends, work
colleagues, neighbours etc. The ticket sales usually account for half
the profit of
the Bazaar, so it's an easy way to make money. We are reliant on everyone
doing
their bit. Thank you in anticipation
Next Sunday is Advent Sunday, the beginning of the Church Year
Lin Lewis is organising the Posada again this year. If you can offer
a home
for a night during Advent to Mary and Joseph, see Lin.
Monday 28th 6:30pm Light Up A Life at the Hospice. This takes
place in the
Car Park of the Hospice and is for anyone who wants to take a few moments
to
remember a loved one who has died.
Wednesday November 30th 7:30pm The Vicarage Discussion/Red Wine
‘In the next year or so, the Church could split over the issue
of homosexuality.’
Youv'e seen the headlines. What do you think about this issue and other
issues
that can divide the Church?
Last year a number of people suggested finding a different way of
sending
Christmas cards to members of the church. So this year for all those
who want
to take part in a joint card rather than sending individual card
a) write your name and greeting on a piece of paper
ie Christmas Greetings to the church family love .....
b) enclose a donation in an envelope and give it to Dan Gibbs, a warden
or the
vicar
The children will make a huge card and stick in all the written greetings.
The donations will go to Christian Aid.
Photocopying.
All your copying can be done at the Vicarage. Dan is there Tuesdays &
Wednesdays
between 9.30am and 11am. 5p a copy but the more you copy the cheaper it
gets.
