ADVENT WINDOW DISPLAYS

Fr Roland asks that people clear away their Advent window displays as soon as is convenient to them.  These were a great

success and enhanced the church decoration beautifully.

 

COFFEE ROTA

We are very short of people on the coffee rota.  If you could help with this, please can you speak to Denise Bailey or email

DATES FOR THE DIARY & INFORMATION

 

ORGAN RESTORATION PROJECT

This work has now begun and the organ will be out of use for up to nine months. During this time, the back of the church will

be cordoned off to allow the restoration team to work safely and efficiently.

 

If you have any questions or concerns about the project, please feel free to speak to Fr Roland, Rupert Wilmouth, the Organ Restoration lead or the Church Wardens. Let us look forward together to the day when our organ will be restored to its full

glory!

 

PARISH PRAYER GROUP

We are pleased to announce the beginning of a Parish Prayer Group which will meet every Wednesday at 12:30 – 1.30 pm in

the Parish Room starting from Wednesday 5th February 2025
This will be a time of quiet reflection, prayer, as we come together to pray for the needs of our parish, community, and the

world. All are welcome—whether you are new to prayer or have been praying for years, your presence will be a blessing to

us all. We invite everyone to join us and participate in this time of spiritual growth and connection. For more details or if you

have any questions, please contact Fr Roland.

I look forward to seeing you there!

​

SHALOM (written by Angela Scott)

We had wandered.

All over the place.  

We came to John.

Listening to him, talking to him -

Fed the hunger, the need inside.

A way station. Respite. But not home.

The yearning persisted.

 

When Jesus appeared and John said:

“Look, the Lamb of God.”

We just knew.

We followed him,

And sat and listened,

And drank in his Spirit, his life,

The hope, the joy: his shalom.

 

Wholeness of being beckoned us

On a journey into belonging;

The healing of our minds;

Peace to our hurting souls.

Love that reaches deep enough

All the way in.

What do I want?

 

I have sought many things,

And been angry, disgruntled and resentful.

But my want led me to my true desire,

Where what I want, really want, became Jesus.

And nothing else mattered.

Not really.

Not when you arrive home forever.
