Dear friends,


I hope that you are staying warm and hopeful during these darker nights.

I would also like to commend three upcoming events to you in particular, which are sure to encourage both some festive cheer and appropriate Advent reflection!


Our Advent Carol Service at 5pm this Sunday (30th November) A relaxed, all-age service including Blessing of the Christmas Tree and solemn Switching-on of the Church Lights.


Cider & Carols on Friday 19th December, 7pm in church. Bring your friends for informal carol singing around the piano with a warming winter drink. Non-alcoholic options will be available. 


Finally, Christmas by Candlelight on Saturday 13th December, 7.30pm - a special event from our friends at Obsidian. 50% of proceeds from ticket sales go to church so please come along for what is bound to be a wonderful evening!
