*******************************
Saddleworth Brass Band: What a wonderful time we had yesterday singing carols, having lunch together and listening to the impressive sounds from this amazing band. Grateful thanks to Ruth and all who were involved in making it a day to remember.
This coming week: There’s lots happening and hopefully you’ll be able to attend one or both of the community concerts which are taking place in Church. Tickets will be available on the door. We don’t charge the community to use the church and the money raised will go towards their own charity work. Sunday night sees the return of the Thornton Cleveleys Brass band who will lead our service of Nine Lessons and Carols. This is always a moving service of music and readings as we begin our countdown to Christmas. If you need a lift to any of these events, please leave a message at the Vicarage and we’ll be sure to pick you up.
Dear Lord, please allow me to embrace the remainder of Advent in the way the Church intends: as a way to prepare for Your arrival. May everything I do, every gift I send, every event I attend, every meal I share, remind me to prepare space in my heart for You. Amen.
Christmas Wishes: Last chance to add you name and best wishes via the notice sheet on 17th December rather than sending Christmas cards. Jot it down and hand your message to the Vicar.
Please remember in your prayers: Christine and John McLellan, Louise Clark, Rev Martin Keighley, Mark Price, Rebekah, Jan Risely, Craig Abson, Dorothy Cox, Jeanette Norman and Maurice Roberts. Please also remember the families of David Newton, Corporal Richard McLellan, Roy Chance and John Sumner whose funerals are due to take place.
