The Hall is available for hire for meetings and parties and is very heavily booked. Book early to save disappointment. Also, please note that the Hall is not available for hire on Sundays because of the Church's own use. Book with Mrs. Lynne Le Seelleur tel: 07797 841649 or email: lleseelleur@yahoo.co.uk Something to think about: Amid the chaos of our troubled and dysfunctional world and the concern and distress this can engender, perhaps some of the words in this prayer from the Methodist Prayer Handbook, Day 22, can bring some hope and comfort. 'Eternal God, we seek clarity and reassurance in a bewideringly complex world. Grant the patient trust that will enable us to sense your hand in the emergent, the ambiguous,the random and the fragile. Give us courage to embrace your vulnerability seen in Jesus Christ. |

1 December 2024
Today is a rather special Fellowship Service at 10:30 a.m.
Jigsaws
Many of the jigsaws have been borrowed and returned many times. If anyone would like their donated jigsaws returned, would they please let Marian know. Otherwise, she will be donating some to Durrell charity shop. Marian will then be able to put out some different ones in the New Year when I think they will be needed for the winter months.
Christmas Card Board
We will again be setting up a Christmas Card board in the vestibule, for you to leave a card sending Christmas wishes to others in the congregation. A collecting tin will be placed by the board If you would like to make a donation in support of Hospice.
Lidded cups available in the hall
As part of improved safety measures, especially for Messy sessions, we have purchased some screw-top lidded cups for adults' hot drinks. Please feel free to use them for anyone who would find them helpful, they have a non-slip grip and are dishwasher safe on the top rack.
Bible Study
The next bible study is on December 4th with Dr Nola Webster the Hall at 7.30 p.m. We’ve been learning about Daniel and it’s really interesting.
Nine Lessons and Carols
The St Martin Parish Church will be holding their carol service with Cantabile on Sunday 8th December at 6:00 p.m.
