Welcoming today - Rev’d Dr Carol Wilkinson who will preach and preside at our 10.45 service. Carol has recently retired as an Accountant and we are ever grateful for her help and support at St Nic’s.
Christmas Fair - Massive shout out to David, Joanne, Trudie and Wendy and their amazing team of helpers who, after weeks of planning and preparation, pulled off an amazing event on Saturday. The Broadway Rooms were buzzing with our own stalls complimented by 17 community stalls. The café provided exquisite cuisine, delivered by Tim and Judith and it provided a super meeting place and refuelling station. Harmony and Health added to the Christmas cheer and Santa popped in too on his way to the North Pole. Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way, grafting on the day, providing gifts, prizes and purchasing raffle tickets. It was a blast and hopefully we made a bit of money too.
Advent & Christmas Events – Dates and times are all now available on the red Christmas card at the back of church and also published on our website.
On Tuesday this week at 7 pm is our Patronal Festival at which the Venerable David Picken will be preaching. Please do make this a priority if you are able. We want the Diocese to see us at our best. If you would like a lift, please just ask or phone the vicarage 874402.
On Saturday we have our carols in the church car park with the Saddleworth Brass Band, followed by a hot pot lunch in the Broadway Rooms. Please sign up at the back of church today for lunch.
