Intimations
A huge thank you to all involved in the Christmas Fayre held on the 29th. Those organising, manning stalls, in the kitchen, serving, donating and those who came along. A great atmosphere in the halls and the amazing sum of £2,200 was raised for church funds.
On 30th November at 6pm the Village Christmas Tree lights will be switched on, and at 6:30pm we will hold a Carol Service in the sanctuary with hot drinks and goodies as we heat up and hopefully not have to dry off.
Monday 1st Dec, at 10am our SunFun Advent for Primary Aged children - a time of games, crafts, snacks as we explore the Christmas story in a fun way as we look for the lost donkey! Registration is still open and a responsible adult needs to fill in the form if bringing a young person along.
7th December is our Gift Sunday for Women’s Aid, gifts should be placed in a gift bag but unwrapped. Gifts for children, remembering the young teenagers, including boys and the woman are very much appreciated each year by this group who are helping those who are escaping fear and abuse.
We also hold the Quiet Christmas at 3pm - a service open to all but particularly for those who have been bereaved, and those just finding they need a quieter time during the busy season.
Sadly we have to intimate two funerals:
Mr Jim Smith's funeral will take place on Wednesday 3rd Dec at 2:30pm in the Sanctuary
Mr Daniel Nocher's funeral will take place on Thursday 4th Dec at 1pm in Woodside Crematorium.
Our thoughts and prayers are with both their families at this time.
Please note that items for the January edition of the Parish Patter should be submitted by Sunday 21st December.
