Christmas Shoe Boxes
At the end of the month the boxes start their journey to the children for whom they were prepared. For more details see Angela Mills.
Safeguarding Sunday
Safeguarding Sunday is on November 15th this year. We haven’t done anything to mark it in the past, but this year Robert will take time to explain our church safeguarding policy and how it effects each of us to be alert to untoward things that can effect children, vulnerable adults or any of us.
Advent
Advent begins on 29th November. Each Sunday we light a candle on the Advent Crown and on Christmas Day the centre candle to mark our Lord’s coming into the world to be our Saviour.
