Dear all
Come and join the fun of the Fair!! We look forward very much to seeing as many of you as possible – together with your friends and family – at our Victorian Fair, sponsored by Knight Frank,from 11.30 am to 3 pm this coming Saturday (26th). Vouchers for children are available on-line or on the gate. The church is decorated and ready, there will be all kinds of treats and experiences to be had, and do please consider dressing up as a Victorian (adult or child) for our Fancy Dress competition to be judged at 1 pm. Many thanks to all who have already donated goods or offered their help on the day or with the set-up or clear-up – and if you might still be able to offer help as a volunteer please do get in touch with Leonora, or turn up on the day and ask to be allotted a short stint on a stall to cover for someone having a break. This is the final event in our 150th Anniversary Year, and the Victorian theme reflects the age in which the church was built. It is an opportunity to come together as a community to celebrate together as we approach the beautiful seasons of Advent and Christmas and we hope to welcome you there. On Sunday, we shall have a Choral Eucharist and Choral Matins to celebrate Advent Sunday in the morning, and then our prayerful and expectant Service of Light at 5.30 pm, as we gather in the darkness and once again sing the familiar hymns of Advent and hear the readings which first point towards Christ’s coming. Please join us for the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year and the hope which it brings. From Tuesday of this week, we shall be hosting a number of large carol services and concerts for schools and charities. As they will be rehearsing every day around 5.30, we shall not be saying Evening Prayer in church, but invite you to use the link HERE to continue your daily observance at home until 13th December, when we shall be delighted to welcome back to the church. Looking ahead to the following Sunday (4th), the 9.30 am Eucharist will include the performance of our children’s Nativity Play in place of the Gospel and sermon. We shall be hearing the story from the point of view of each of the characters involved, and the children involved will also be forming a children’s choir to sing the anthem during Communion. Tickets for the Messiah part 1 are available to purchase HERE. Our Christmas service cards are being delivered across the parish, and there will be more in church – please do take them for friends and relatives. I wish you all a holy Advent. Stir up your power, O God, and come among us. Heal our wounds, calm our fears and give us peace, through Jesus our Redeemer. [Common Worship, Night Prayer in Advent] With my love and prayers Mother Emma 24th November |
