This week’s letter from our vicar, Tom Robson, for Sunday 10th December:

This Sunday we continue into Advent, at the 10am come and hear from the prophet Isaiah the song of comfort for God’s people. At the 4pm it’s our scratch nativity – come and be part of the story of Jesus’ birth. At 6.30pm we have an online prayer meeting with a focus on our Christmas outreach. This Wednesday we have a 9.30am quiet communion and new screens are going up in Church.

Our aim is: ‘Together, to make Jesus known.’ We would love the chance to get to know you and share more of the life and faith of our church. I am often around Tuesdays and Thursdays (term-times) from 10am-12pm in the Church Centre. If you are visiting us on Sunday, please ask the welcome team for a welcome pack and prayer is usually available after our services. God bless,

Tom
