​Advent and Christmas - Please take a copy of the Advent and Christmas services flyer from the back of the church.  It will be crucial to book a place in advance for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and so there will be a services sign up page at the back of the church for current congregation members.  If you are inviting family please also fill in their names.        Recently Departed - Rita Smith RIP
