Coronavirus - The omicron variant of COViD-19 appears to be more infectious than previous variants including the delta variant, and as a result the government has moved to Plan B. The Prime Minister is clear that Christmas events need not be cancelled, and Churches should continue with their plans for worship over the next weeks. However, we are required to reintroduce the wearing of masks during indoor, in-person public worship, until further notice. All the other precautions that we already have in place will continue. Please take great care to protect yourself and those around you and do test yourself regularly if you are able.

Christmas Wishes Beryl Clarkson would like to wish you and your loved ones a very happy Christmas and sends her good wishes for the New Year. Nancy Burr also sends her love and good wishes at this special time to you and yours. Rather than sending cards both Beryl and Nancy, who worship via Zoom each Sunday, have donated to church funds.

Last weekendThank you again to everyone who helped, planned, or supported the Christmas Fair and Patronal Vigil. It was a great weekend and the Bishop had nothing but praise for the progress we are making.

A Prayer - O Lord, you are the light that guides my feet. You are the map that gives me direction. You are the peace that makes me strong. You are the leader whom I faithfully follow. May your light illuminate my life and your guidance bring direction. May I find inspiration in your word and peace in my heart as I follow you. Amen.

100 Club: Winners last week were Dorothy Cox, Margaret Pook, and Joanne Ashworth

Please remember in your prayers – Fr Ron, Jane, Jeanette, Heather, Michael, Alan Fleming, Eddie Gillon & Gillian King.
