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.

Prayer Meeting: Our next prayer meeting will be on Wednesday 7th January from 3pm in church. All are welcome to come along for a period of quiet reflection and prayer in the presence of our Lord. If you would like to come but have a problem with transport, please contact Sonya (T.632626)

Samaritan’s Purse: Thank you to all who made up a box for children this Christmas. We contributed 31 boxes from St.Luke’s. Well done!!

Thursday Group: First meeting of 2009 is on 15th January from 8pm in the Parish Centre, when Roger Clarke will be sharing a musical evening with us, entitled Musical Adrenalin. All are welcome to attend, members £1 and non-members £2 which includes refreshments. Again, if you need transport please contact Sonya (T.632626). Also if you have any good gifts or something appropriate for raffle prizes, please contact Helen Poynter, who will be delighted to hear from you.

Cupboard: outside the chapel needs a new home. If you can use it please speak to Don Luff.

Change of Date: The Sparklers/Sunday Club post Christmas party will now be on Sun. 18th January 2009.

St.Andrews Bookshop: is still open! The front section of the shop is now a gallery – just walk through this area and you will find the usual selection of books, cards, gifts etc.

West Side Story: This musical is on tour and will be at Wycombe Swan in February. 20 tickets have been reserved for the matinee on Saturday, 28th February, and cost £31.50 each. If you would like to join the group going from church, please give your cheque, payable to St.Luke’s PCC, to Ann Burdett as soon as possible.

Put on your swimming costume!  And join St.Luke’s swimmers as we take part in the Lions Club Swimarathon on Saturday, 10th January. We are entering three teams, with all teams swimming in the 2.00pm to 2.50pm time slot, so you will need to be at the pool by 1.30pm to register. Supporters and sponsors are very welcome to come and cheer us along.
