And you think it's cold here!

While talk is of this week's extremely cold weather (minus 5 degrees in East Leake), I discovered somewhere where it's really cold! It may be minus 37 degrees, but look at what God gives us. Beautiful Northern Lights.

If we wrap up, take care and ignore our discomforts, our changing weather is one of the marvels God gives us in our world. Don't forget to check on your neighbours, especially if they are alone. There are also birds trying to survive in the cold and need food and water.

We'll be pleased to see you on Saturday at 6.30pm at Costock for the Cluster Party & Pantomime, if you can make it. Don't let lack of transport put you off, call one of us and we'll arrange to bring you. Or maybe we'll see you on Sunday at one of the services, or at the special Christingle Service and party at 2.30pm.

The parties aren't over yet. St Mary's Hall is busy with private bookings for children's parties. If you have a party, a meeting or want to rehearse in a light, warm place, please contact Pat on: 820094. See the website for charges and facilities. You can also check the availability on our on-line calendars - the links are in the column on the right.
