Christmas Celebration

Here are details of our Christmas celebration with our friends at the United Reformed Church. Please feel free to copy and print the above to use as an invite to your friends and family.

From Sunday

Thank you all for your prayers on Sunday. We were reminded again of what a fantastic church family we are part of. You may remember Hannah's poetic contribution which she promised to email. Well sure enough here it is...

I came across this poem by a Quaker poet which has really spoken to me of the importance of living in the here and now - whether it is a time of feast or famine - looking for the goodness of God in every situation:

No longer forward nor behind,
I look in hope or fear;
But grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
— John Greenleaf Whittier

Update

As promised the latest YAK is now available in the 'Links' section on the right. As usual Linda has worked hard to stuff it full with all of the latest need to know dates and details. Unfortunatly on it's way the the World Wide Web the formatting suffers a little but all the info is still there.

Evolve

A youth club for 10 – 13 year olds held at the Sylvia Beaufoy Centre on Tuesday evenings.

Following on from what was said at chat’n’chew, may I remind you that as a matter of urgency, you pray that we will receive new staff members for the coming months. Ruth is going into hospital in December, and Emma will be going on maternity leave after Christmas, so we will need at least one female staff member.

Evolve is open from 7.00pm to 8.30pm for the young people, but set up is 6.30pm and pack away is usually finished about 9.00pm.

Please pray into this and let one of us know if you feel God is speaking to you about working with Evolve. The Evolve team are: Simon Jones, Nigel Sneller and Emma Sneller and of course me.

Regards,

Ruth Sneller

Chat & Chew...

or is that Chat 'n' Chew? Who knows. Whatever you want to call it it's happening this Sunday (25th). We'll have our usual morning together then a bring and share (or is that bring 'n' share) lunch while we chat about Church business and share what's going on.

We're taking the somewhat risky decision not to coordinate what everyone brings so just bring what you can to share. See you there!
