Almighty God,
give us grace to cast away the works of darkness
and to put on the armour of light,
now in the time of this mortal life,
in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility;
that on the last day,
when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
to judge the living and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

ADVENT 1
IN TOUCH November 30th 2014
ADVENT IS UPON US and we begin our preparations for the coming of the
Christchild into our midst. It is a really special time to find ourselves given an
opportunity to reflect closer on what a special gift it is to be expecting God to come
into our midst in human form. I wish you all a blessed Advent and pray you find
time for some stillness with God amidst all of the Christmas preparations.
THANK YOU! What a terrific Christmas fair we had at St George's Church,
yesterday. It was just wonderful to welcome so many people into the church. There
are so many wonderful volunteers who have given such a lot of effort and work to
put on such a successful fair (the amount raised was £934) - and we're especially
grateful for all of your work - thank you so much!
DURING ADVENT we do not sing the Gloria. Instead, at Holy Communion at Holy
Trinity Church we will join in with a Responsorial Psalm (see below)

CHRISTMAS HAMPER ELVES!

you donate something for the hampers? At Holy Trinity please speak to Gay Austin and at St
George's please speak to Anne and Robert, but the items we might include are: small wrapped
gift for each family member, Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding, Custard or Brandy Sauce, Crisps
and biscuits, Sweets and Chocolate, Christmas Novelty Crackers, Drinks (Fizzy or Long Life),
Tinned: (Meat, Veg.), Gravy Granules, Fruit, Tea and or Coffee, Long Life Milk Sugar. But what
would you like to find in a hamper - could you donate something?
