*******************************************
It is with much sadness that the death of Rev’d Jane Everett was announced on Friday morning. Jane, Tim and the family were regular members of St Nicholas Church for many years. Jane answered her calling to Priesthood, giving up her career in the Civil Service. Having completed her residential training, she was posted to St Chad’s Poulton where she served her title. Incumbencies followed in Cornwall and the Midlands and following an early retirement Tim and Jane returned to Fleetwood in 2019. Though we accept Jane is at peace and in God’s safe keeping we are still sad. At times like this we are reminded that the Lord is in our midst and comforts us with his word: Blessed are those who mourn, they shall be comforted. Please remember Tim, Joseph and Hannah in your prayers.
Christmas Fair: ‘Generous beyond words’ is how someone described the gifts that were donated for this year’s fair. This newsletter is being produced before the outcomes are known so we’ll be sure to update you next week. Suffice to say an enormous thank you to everyone who was involved in planning and organising, buying and ordering, making phone calls, selling raffle tickets and collecting prizes for weeks and weeks leading up to the event. Team St Nic’s, lead by Joanne and David have done it again! Well done and thank you for your dedication to deliver at top class occasion for the church and for the community.
Lakeland Lodge: This Tuesday we’ve been invited to go along and sing some Christmas carols for our friends at Lakeland Lodge. We need as many volunteers as possible to sing. So, if you fancy joining us, please meet in the car park of the care home at 10.55 am. Alternatively, if you would like a lift, speak to Ruth and she’ll arrange a lift from St Nic’s car park.
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 or email it to the Vicar or pop it through the Vicarage letter box. Verbal requests may get overlooked!
100 Club Winners: Joanne Ashworth, Dorothy Greene, Nancy Burr, Karen Hay, Mavis Evans, Dorothy Warren, Sue Dell, Linda Cawley, Elizabeth Leeson, Alma Wright, Lawrence Dunn, Carole Pilling, David Meekins and Derek Warrington. Congratulations and thanks for supporting the church in this way
Please remember in your prayers: Archdeacon Mark Ireland, Jeff Chambers, Katie, Brian Brown, Mark Price, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Brian Morris, Ben and Ruth Green, and Elaine Clarke.
