General News for both parishes (unless stated)
MAJOR CELEBRATION SERVICE - TODAY. The Rev. Peter Street reaches his 50th Anniversary of Ordination today. The 6pm Service will be an enormous Celebration with his family, church, town and county well represented. It would be really good if St Mary's and St Andrew's churches are very well represented - after all, we have benefited greatly over the years from Peter's assistance and ministry.
ST MARY'S SIDESMENS' ROTAS are now in the pigeon holes. Please collect your copy
ST ANDREW'S CHRISTMAS BAZAAR - NEXT SATURDAY. On December 5th at 2.00pm Barnston Village Hall will be full of all the things you'd expect to see at a Christmas Bazaar - home-made cakes and jams, gifts for Christmas, books, videos & CDs, games for everyone, and Father Christmas. Refreshments will soothe tired bodies, and the proceeds of the Bazaar will help St Andrew's church finances.
NEXT SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The first of December's one-off Services is the Christingle at St Mary's on the 6th December at 3.00pm. This is always extremely popular - but don't let that put you off coming - there will still be lots of room! This is certainly an occasion for children, youngsters and adults of all ages. So come and share in this annual celebration of Jesus, the Light of the World.
CLOCK WINDER AT ST MARY'S. On January 1st 2010, Mike Saines will retire from his position as official Tower Clock Winder at St Mary's after 27 years' service.
