*******************************************
As we approach the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 is natural to look back and reflect on the past year. As with most years, it has had its share of highlights and sadness, not just for us as a church but for us as individuals too. We launch into a new year with hope in our hearts, rejoicing in the hundreds of people and families of who have been ministered to through baptisms and funerals and through our weekly run of services and community activities in 2024. We rejoice in the countless ‘get togethers’, when we’ve enjoyed quality food and fellowship together. And we look forward to all that God has in store for us in this coming year. As we say goodbye to this year and welcome the new one, let's do so with thankful hearts.
Lord, we look toward you, our hope, our peace, and our comfort in this New Year. As we enter into the unknown of the coming year, we ask for your guidance and wisdom. Illuminate our path with your light so that we may walk in your ways and make choices that align with your will. Help us to seek first your kingdom and trust that all other things will be added unto us. Amen
100 Club winners: December - Dorothy Angel. Derek Warrington, Dorothy Greene, Muriel Freestone, Laura Martin, Ruth Aspinall. Alan Leeson, Carolyn Terpet, Moira Greenwood, Nancy Burr, Sue Southern, Ethel Chantler and Alison Horobin. Thank you for supporting the ministry of St Nic’s in this way.
Regular giving: We are so very grateful to all who donate financially to St Nic’s on a weekly or monthly basis. With your commitment to regular giving, we are able to budget and plan ahead. Weekly envelopes for 2025 will be available from next week. Whilst we appreciate that this method is best for some, with the closure of all the local banks we are finding it increasingly difficult to deal with cash. Might you consider using a standing order? If so, please see Ruth who will help you to sort it out.
Please remember in your prayers: Archdeacon Mark Ireland, Jeff Chambers, Katie, Brian Brown, Louise Gorley, Mark Price, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Brian Morris, Elaine Clarke, & Tracey Ashworth. We also remember the families of Jane Everitt, Norma Toland, Doreen Merrison, Margaret Tilling, Mike Lee and Maureen Barker whose funerals are due to take place.
