MINSTER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Welcome to the Minster Sunday School and Crèche who meet during the 10.00 service. Children
and helpers, and any parents, who wish to do so, may follow the cross during the Gradual hymn,
and return just before Communion. The Sunday School and Crèche are available to visitors as
well as to regular members of the congregation. If, however, you prefer to keep your children
with you throughout the service, that is fine.

Receiving Holy Communion. If you normally receive communion in your own church you are
welcome to receive communion here. If you don’t want to take communion but would like a blessing,
please bring your service booklet with you to let the minister know.
The normal practice in York Minster is to receive the wafer into the hand. If you prefer not to drink
from the common cup, please take the wafer only. Gluten-free communion wafers are available at the
communion station nearest the pulpit at the front left of the Nave. If you require a gluten-free
communion wafer, please inform a Steward and make your way to the front of the Nave. When the
time comes to receive communion, please ask the priest for a gluten-free wafer. If you need to
receive communion in your seat please tell a Steward and this will be arranged.

Advent Calendars. The York Diocesan Newsletter carries information about The Real Advent
Calendar. The Real Advent Calendar is the only charity advent calendar with a free Christmas story
booklet behind the first window. It will help everyone enjoy and share the Christmas story. Each calendar
comes with a free 32 page Christmas story-activity booklet designed to be used each day in Advent. Behind
each of the 25 windows there is a Fairtrade Belgian chocolate, and a line of the Christmas story. As well as
celebrating the true meaning of Christmas, the calendar makes a charity donation from every sale to The
Funzi & Bodo Trust. Please take a look at their website for further details; http://www.realadvent.co.uk/
‘Eucharist Live – Advent’ The HIVE Theatre - Manor Church of England Academy 7.00pm Thursday

Adult Learning Programme 2015/2016 The programme is well under way and is being enthusiastically
supported and well attended. The second in the ‘Collections Unlocked’ strand of events on Wednesday 3
December at 7.00pm, takes as its theme, ‘The Word made Flesh: How do our collections tell the story of
Christmas past, present and future?’ Although this is at the beginning of Advent, it will help us, as the buildup to Christmas starts, to focus on the meaning and heart of Christmas, so that it doesn’t get lost in
everything else that will be going on. Both events will be in the Old Palace and tickets are available through
the Minster Box Office in Church House. For further details about this and all other learning events, please
visit the Minster website or look in the Adult earning Programme brochure.

events 2014-2015 are available now. Full details of events are in the Adult Learning brochure, which is

able to support us once again. Many thanks. Michael Wiles, FCM Diocesan Representative.
