Happy New Year to you all!

Please find attached the first Bulletin of 2025. Let’s see how long it is before I forget we’ve moved on from 2024 and put the wrong date somewhere in a Bulletin.

I am also sending a compilation of Nativity photographs for you to browse through. These are not in any coherent order - I just had to fit them on the pages easily. My thanks to Sue who took these pictures, which means that unfortunately we have none of her and Tina as the Two Wise Women: a shame as we do need that recording for posterity. Please send me any of yours if you took some.

Things are returning to ‘normal’ now after our Christmas service-bonanza, and soon we will be welcoming Vivien as a member of our Ministry Team. There will be a special service of Choral Evensong on 12th January at which Bishop Sam will be present to welcome her officially.

Meanwhile, keep sending in any news items or photos for inclusion in our newsletter (which will be sent out on Thursday 16th Jan – the deadline for submissions is 15th at noon).

All good wishes for the week, and for a peaceful and fruitful 2025.

Lynne
