If you are visiting us for the first time we would like to
get to know you better. Please fill in one of the yellow welcome
cards and hand it to someone on duty before you leave. Better
still, stay and have a chat over a cup of coffee after the
10.00am service. Children and young people are welcome to join
the groups which meet during the service. Please feel free to
take a toddler to the children’s corner at the back of the
church if they are getting restless, but do stay with them.
The chapel is available as a quiet place for prayer after
services and whenever the church is open. Please feel free to
take advantage of it.
Please keep the car parking space in the churchyard free for
the disabled and frail elderly. Thank you.
Thank
you: to all who helped take the spirit of Christmas to a
part of our Parish by way of Carol Singing last Monday. I think
we raised about £100 which will be sent to the Children’s
Society. Those who live in and around Evenlode thoroughly
enjoyed our singing and some said they really do look forward to
this annual event. Thank you also to those who helped provide
our refreshment of mulled wine and mince pies. Sonya
Thank
you: to all the Children’s Society Box Holders. We
collected over £680 which was a tremendous total. Many thanks,
Chris Sawyers.
