Advent Devotionals: These booklets are highly recommended and available at the back of Church. They provide a daily reflection for each day of Advent. Join with us and the Diocese as we journey through Advent together. There are large print copies and extra copies if you wish to pass one on to a friend or neighbour.
God of Salvation, wake us up Lord! The night is nearly over. Lead us through our Advent journey.
Wake us up Lord! Let us live as people of the light. Amen.
Saddleworth Brass Band: Last chance today to sign up for lunch next Saturday. It’s sure to be another splendid event hosted here at St Nic’s.
