*******************************************
Patronal Festival: On the eve of the Feast of St Nicholas, Thursday 5th December at 7.00 pm we will hold our annual celebration of our special Saint’s Day. Archdeacon David has been invited to preach and preside and our friends from Poulton St Chad’s and St Hilda’s have also received an invitation to join us. Refreshments will be provided in church after the service. The heating will be on and lifts can be arranged by phoning the Vicarage 874402. Let’s pack the church!
Advent Devotionals: These booklets come highly recommended and are 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 for anyone who needs them and also little cards with QR codes which will take you to the Diocesan app on your smart phone where you will also find the daily reflections.
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.
Christmas Wishes: Why not consider sending a Christmas greeting to the whole church family on our specially prepared ‘Christmas greeting notice sheet’ instead of sending Christmas Cards? The sheet will be printed on 22nd December. Please jot down your message and hand it to the Vicar or pop it through the Vicarage letter box. Verbal requests may get overlooked!
Please remember in your prayers: Archdeacon Mark Ireland, Jeff Chambers, Katie, Brian Brown, Mark Price, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Brian Morris, Ben and Ruth Green, and Elaine Clarke. And we remember the family of Jane Bedford whose funeral will take place this coming week.
