New Members sought for the Wednesday Group!
If you live alone and would enjoy a cup of tea or coffee on a Wednesday morning, then please call in and see us. Chocolate biscuits make a frequent appearance!
We can usually be found in Rooms 3&4 between 10.30am and 12 noon ...
... but on the fourth Wednesday each month
we meet at 12 noon and enjoy having lunch together.
If you feel you might like to join us, please do,
we look forward to welcoming YOU!

Christingle for Children & Adults
Everyone is welcome to this special annual service,
this year at 4pm on Sunday, 12 December.
Christingles will have been prepared for everyone,
ready to be lit and carefully held
as we sing ‘Away in a Manger’ altogether,
in a huge circle in the church.
Confirmation
Please pray for the six members of our church who will be confirmed in their faith, hopefully on
Sunday, 30 January
at St Michael’s Church, Dovercourt
~ Dan ~ Diane ~ Garry ~ Justin ~ Karen ~ Sheila ~
Almighty God, by whose grace alone we are accepted and called to your service:
strengthen us by your Holy Spirit
and make us worthy of our calling;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever, Amen
Everyone is welcome to join them for the confirmation service at 5pm.
Focus on the story of the court-room judge, on telling your own story,
on the bridge diagram, and praying the prayer of faith.
Join the Rector - after morning church - for four, short Sunday sessions:
6 & 20 February and 6 & 20 March at 12.15
or
one longer Monday afternoon session:
21 February at 2pm.
