There is Evening Prayer on Sunday 9 November at 5pm. For a list of Morning and Evening Prayer times in the week ahead, please see the diary overleaf.
We're beginning to collect items for our Christmas bazaar, which will be on Saturday 29 November, 12-3pm. We're looking for: raffle prizes, tombola prizes, bottle tombola prizes, hamper contributions, home produce (eg homemade jam/chutney/gifts), good quality toys, games and gifts, good quality bric-a-brac (no electrical items, clothing, highchairs or child car seats please). Donations can be left at the back. If you'd be interested in helping with this year's Christmas Bazaar (either setting up on Thursday 27 November, 2-7pm, or on the day itself, Saturday 29 November), do sign up on the sheet at the back of church.
(We're particularly interested in hearing from you if you have experience of making Christmas wreaths, and would be willing to lead a session on this during the Bazaar – but ALL help welcome.)
Liz has kindly offered to make lavender bags to sell at the bazaar – if you have any suitable fabric remnants (thin, floral fabric preferred) do pass them onto her!
We have three new services:
- a monthly Evensong (Sun 30 Nov, at 5pm)
- a monthly Thursday Night Prayer (Thurs 13 Nov & 11 Dec, at 7pm)
- a monthly Sunday Service in our church school (Pancake Church!), especially for Primary School aged children (Sun 16 Nov & 14 Dec). This Sunday – 10am. Please note the new time.
Join the St John of Jerusalem choir! Next rehearsal is Wednesday 12 November, 7 - 8.30pm. The first half of the rehearsal will be focused on the hymns for the following Sunday, the second half on preparing for the monthly Evensong Service (on 30 November). People welcome to stay for half or all of the rehearsal. Do speak with Clare or Robyn if you'd like to find out more.
There is Little Tots 0-4 (under 5) Stay and Play this Tuesday 11 November (and every Tuesday during term time) 10am – 12 pm. Possible new volunteers for this, please speak with Lisa E, Robyn, Toby or Andrew.
Boxes of envelopes for weekly giving for the year ahead are now available at the back of church, for those who like to donate regularly by this method.
