Christmas Outreach 22 December - Churches Together will be running an outreach event under the Guildhall on the High Street from 11am-3pm. We need help with giving out refreshments, singing carols, wrapping presents and face painting. Can you give an hour? It's a way of raising the profile of Jesus at this special time of year. Contact Debbie debbie.orriss@churcharmy.me.uk 07757171612. We also need donations of mince pies (baked or bought) to give out. Please leave any donations in the kitchen during the week of the Outreach. Many thanks.

Four Studies and a Party update - The Pastoral Team have been studying the feedback from the course David and Debbie ran in the autumn. One outcome has come as a result of several comments about seeking increased confidence in talking about our faith. Debbie is going to run a course called 'Lost For Words' during Lent. More details to follow. Other outcomes will unfold in the months to come.

Children's Nativity Play - this year will be in two parts, the main event taking place on Sunday 8 Jan during the 9.45 Eucharist. ALL are welcome to take part. In order to prepare, we will have a rehearsal during our Epiphany Party at 2pm on Tuesday 3 Jan in the Church. Please let me know if your children would like to take part and if they will be coming to the Party. Offers of help would be much appreciated. The Children's Minister- cathypicken@live .co.uk
