This was the last session before the joint party on the 8th December at The Refectory. We looked forward to Advent, what it means to us and ‘Jesus is the Light of the World’. Great fun was had with glow sticks!!Please click on the link to see more pictures!
There was a bumper attendance, with all stalls doing well. St John’s school choir attended to sing carols, the bottle stall sold out first, the Vicar won ‘Play your cards right’ and all the cheese and onion pie went! Once again, thank you for your support. £1,000 was raised for church and £78.60 was raised for ‘Save the Children’ from the Toy sale.
The meeting began with the Eucharist, followed by refreshments. Bishop Philip then spoke and outlined the Diocesan Vision to maintain clergy numbers, to plant more church congregations and the need to ‘sow and keep sowing seeds of the Gospel’. This was an inspirational evening and everyone left feeling uplifted. Pendle Deanery Synod meetings are ‘open’ meetings, for all to attend, and are a good way to keep in touch with the wider church.
