Christmas 2025
Yes, I know the summer is not quite ended and people are still on holiday or in holiday
mood and don't want to think about Christmas just yet but it is only 117 days away as I
write this on 30th August!!
I have received the Autumn Leprosy Mission catalogues, which contain Christmas cards
and other gift ideas, and have left some copies on the table at the back of the church.
Please take a copy and look through it, although there will be further items when the
Christmas catalogue is published later in the Autumn.
I am also thinking of ordering the URC Prayer Handbook (£6.99 plus p&p) and Diary
(£9.00 plus p&p), so if anyone would like me to order these on their behalf please let me
know as we can save on postage by ordering together.
Similarly, I shall be taking orders for the 2026 edition of Fresh from the Word, which you
have heard me refer to occasionally in sermons. This costs £13.99 plus p&p if ordered
through me and there is a discount of 10% for ordering over 3 copies.
Please think about what you would like for 2026 and plan ahead! Shall I be the first to
wish you all a Merry Christmas?!!
 

Open House
Open house continues to be a popular meeting place for friends to meet on a Wednesday

morning. We share our news with each other, add a few pieces to the jigsaw puzzle and

gather round the charity sales table for something to buy. If it happens to be somebody’s
birthday we enjoy a piece of birthday cake and sing the birthday song.
