What is Christmas? Jesus is the reason for the season!

The pink Advent candle was lit on Sunday. 19th to remember Mary, the young girl who gave birth to Jesus, the Holy Child. It must have been a shock to her, being a virgin to know she was pregnant and to be told that the child would be the special one prophesied in Isaiah - Immanuel (God with us). The important thing is that she gladly accepted it - if that was what God wanted of her, she would obey.

*Carolling at the Three Horseshoes Pub at 6.30pm tonight Tuesday, 21st, raising money for the Friary Drop-In Centre. Please note that this will take place inside the pub, due to the freezing weather! There are many homeless people out in this sub zero cold who desperately need a warm place to go, some hot food and a shower.  Will you help this support this worthy charity?

Please note! St Mary's Coffee Morning will still be held on Friday morning, 24th Dec at 10.00-12.00noon HOWEVER it will be held in St Mary's HALL instead, just this week!
Please be aware that water has been running down the road and created a sheet of ice outside the hall. Salt and grit have been put down but it's difficult to continue to keep clear. The authorities have been notified.
