A massive thank you to all who helped prepare the church for the celebration of Christmas in whatever way, and to manage the services. We are especially grateful to John Eyles for stepping in to play at the Midnight Mass at short notice.

Welcome! It is good to welcome our friends from Furnham this Sunday, for our usual 5th Sunday joint service.

Epiphany We shall be celebrating Epiphany next Sunday, 7th. The celebrant and preacher at the 10am Parish Mass will be the Ven Simon Hill, Archdeacon of Taunton.

Outlook The parish magazine for Christmas/January is available online if you haven’t already received it. There are a few hard copies at the back of church for those unable to read it that way.

The Bishop Oswestry will be visiting the parish in a 2 weeks’ time, and will preside at the 10am Parish Mass on January 14th. Please book the date and ensure that he receives a good welcome from us all.

John Fisher, RIP John’s funeral will be at Taunton Crematorium on Monday 15 January at 2.00pm. We assure Rose, Nic and all the family of our prayers and condolences at this sad time for them.

Weekday Services - Services are being held in the Vestry which is warmer. Services in the church will be on Saturdays at 6pm and the three Sunday services. The evening service will be 4.00pm.

Used Stamps - Please save your used stamps for the RNIB, and bring them to the church and place in the collection box at the back, remembering to leave a 1cm border. Thank you.
