The Second Sunday before Advent
10.00am Parish Eucharist
#
Collect (Prayer):
Heavenly Lord,
you long for the world’s salvation:
stir us from apathy,
restrain us from excess
and revive in us new hope
that all creation will one day be healed
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Bible Readings:
Daniel 12.1-3, Hebrews 10.11-25, Mark 13.1-8
Prayer After Communion:
Gracious Lord,
in this holy sacrament
you give substance to our hope:
bring us at the last
to that fullness of life for which we long;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Zoom Morning Prayer - Tuesdays at 9.00am
Around 8 of us are enjoying beginning the day together once a week on Zoom with a time of prayer and Bible readings. There is usually time for a chat afterwards too in our meeting, which lasts for 40 minutes. All are welcome to join us. No books or apps are needed as all the words are shared on the screen from the Church of England website.
Please contact the Parish Office on 01823 332531 if you would like the details.

If you would like to run a stall, please speak to a member of the Fundraising Team - Darren, Lesley and Merv Jones, Anna, Karen, Bill or Sally. Thank you.

I am organising this year's bottle stall for the Christmas Market. If anyone wants to donate bottles, they can be dropped off in church or to the office. If you are unable to get them to church, I can collect them from you. My contact details are 07769814303 or 01823 975183.
