General News for both parishes (unless stated)
Well Done! The Christingle Service on the 7th December raised £251.51 for The Children's Society. Many congratulations to Helen Warren and her team for this magnificent result.
FAITH IN ACTION's Gifts with a Difference leaflets are now available. Just the inspiration that's needed for the person who has everything! However, please check with Jay about current prices - the recent fall in the value of Sterling has increased the cost of all these Gifts.
Thank you, from the Church Staff, for all your kindness in sending Christmas Cards, greetings and good wishes. They are all very much appreciated. We hope you all have a very Happy Christmas, and that God blesses you with his presence and peace in the coming year.
Please check the Pigeon Holes at St Mary's - you may well have letters there for you.

CHURCHES TOGETHER UNITY SUPPER. January seems a long way off, plans are already being made for the Churches Together Unity Supper on Friday January 16th. The annual event is always a sell-out. The 80 or so £5 tickets go like the proverbial hot cakes. So don't delay - see Pam Cheal as soon as possible, and book your place.
AT THE BACK OF THE CHURCH there is a box for prayer requests. If you would like us to pray for anyone, please leave your request in the box and they will be prayed for at the Monday Prayer Group.
