We'd like to invite our children and young people to stay behind for a few minutes after the service on Sunday 19 Dec to plant some bulbs in the churchyard. (Thanks to the church garden gang for working so hard to weed the beds!).

We'll also be putting up many of the church Christmas decorations today. If you have time to help with that immediately after the service that would be wonderful.

New Year's Eve Watch Night Service will be at 11pm on Friday 31 December.

New Youth Group - Friday 7 January 2022 at 6pm at the Rectory.

The next church cleaning will be on Saturday 8 January, 9.30-11.30am. (Please note, no church cleaning on New Year's Day, 1 January.)

A date for the diary and an invitation to those who enjoy singing - there is a wonderful concert on Sunday 2 Jan 2022 at 7.30pm. Zoe Kundu conducts the Wyatt Sinfonia. Zoe's concerts are always fantastic - with an orchestra made up of young musicians who are either at music college, or who have recently graduated. This is also a 'Come & Sing' event (to make up the chorus for Beethoven's Ninth). If you would like to sing, please make sure to email Victoria (Hay) to register: victoriahayorganist@gmail.com The cost for taking part in the singing is £15 and the chorus rehearsal is Sunday 2 Jan 2022, 12-3pm (only). The music edition is Peeters. Money raised will go to the organ appeal. On 2 Jan it would be great to have a few volunteers who could help on the door for the concert and help clear up at the end.
