The ‘Challenging Lifestyles’ course, presented by Nicky Gumbel, has got underway, but it is not too late to join us. We watch the DVD over coffee, and then have a discussion over a shared lunch. Please let me know if you are interested.
Social Committee are planning a Christmas Lunch next Sunday with turkeys cooked by the Golf Club. The cost will be £7.50 – or £4.00 for Primary School age children – which is payable before the day. Please sign up on the list at the back of the church for what promises to be a very happy occasion.
We are looking forwards to our ‘Nativity around the village’ at 5.00pm on Christmas Eve. All children are welcome to take part and dress up as shepherds, angels and wise men. Please see Linda Patrick or Julia Weeks if you, or someone you know, would like to take part.
Charles Patrick, Rector.
