December will soon be with us along with anticipation of Christmas and the celebration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. As we move into Advent, there are some wonderful services to look forward to. This comes at a time when we have been blessed with an influx of new and enthusiastic clergy who are now adding their support to our vicar, Mark and our children’s minister, Rosie.
Following the success of Stewardship Sunday, we also have additional volunteers, including extra welcomers for the Sunday Service Teams. The churchyard team has gained some extra recruits, as well as hospitality, and in the church office. However, we really need additional help with the sound desk and visuals.
Church attendances are definitely increasing, and it was great to see a congregation of over 350 at the 10:45am Remembrance Service earlier this month. The Christmas services will also be busier, but we encourage the Church Family to invite friends, neighbours and family to come along and be part of our Christian celebrations.
