St German's News - 2 Dec 2018 - Advent 1

Advent - Service of Advent Lessons and Carols by Candlelight this evening at 6pm in St German’s.  All are welcome.                        
Rome Pilgrimage 3-7 December - Many of us will be away this week.  Consequently, there is no Monday evening mass on 3rd December but there will be a mass at 11:30am which is open to all.                     
Advent Hymns - Hymns for the season of advent will be taken from the New English Hymnal (Green Book).                              
Advent and Christmas - Copies of the services for Advent and Christmas are available at the back of the Church. A highlight of this is a return for the series of prayer reflections on the 8 days before Christmas following the ancient ‘O Antiphons’ of the Church.                            
Nightshelter -  We will have an information and training evening for those interested in helping with our Nightshelter on Monday 10 December at 7pm.  This is open to new volunteers as well as to those who helped last year.  Its purpose is to update everyone on procedures for this year.  As ever, if you would like to help out in any way with the night shelter please contact Fr Phelim or one of the wardens.                             
Messy Church - the next Messy Church will be in St German’s at 4pm on Christmas Eve. We will need lots of help and if you can help us please let Fr Phelim know.                                   
Advent and Christmas Magazine - Copies arrive this week and will be given out next Sunday and they’ll be delivered to every household in Adamsdown.
