A Message from our Minister

Dear Friends,

By the time this Patter arrives with you, our Advent Services will already have started with a Baptism and Communion on the 30th of November - the First Sunday of Advent.  A full list of the Services can be found below.

As I write this, I am waiting for the floors to dry after my day of ‘spring’ cleaning, annual leave gives me time to do a deeper clean than the usual day-off whizz around; all this in preparation of family visiting and then the Christmas decorations going up.  Advent is a time of preparation, a time when we share the stories of the promise of a Messiah and hear the Baptist cry in the desert ‘prepare the way’. What are we preparing for ourselves?  I hope you are preparing for some joyous times spent with family and our church family, looking forward to singing some favourite carols (and yes perhaps learning a new one or two), eating several mince pies and lots of other goodies. But, most of all I pray we are all preparing to allow the gift of Jesus to all the world to once more bring us the peace, joy and hope that his birth means to us.

May you have a truly Blessed Christmas.

Yours aye

Ann
