Our Messy Christmas Eve Family Service is on Saturday 24th at 3:30pm. As well as craft and songs, we’ll be retelling the Christmas Story together. We’d encourage the young and young at heart to come dressed as a Nativity character. If you don’t have anything, we can provide something on the day.
Afterwards there’ll be drinks, mince pies and cake.
Christmas is a great time for friends and family, so why not bring everyone from home, and invite a friend !
The December double issue of RG31 – our Parish Magazine – is now available on-line here, or click on the image.
This coming Saturday, we are combining our normal Messy Church with our ever popular Christingle service.
Don’t know what a Christingle is ? Come along to find out ! But a clue is that it helps us think about *who* Christmas is about. We’ll be making Christingles together as part of our “Fun, Faith and Food”.
As we look towards who is coming, we’ll also be thinking about those less fortunate than ourselves – particularly those helped by the Children’s Society. We’ll be having a collection in aid of this worthy charity. If you’ve picked up a collection box from St Catherine’s, don’t forget to bring it along.
We’re not providing a hot meal this time, but we hope you’ll stay with us for drinks, cakes & mince pies.
Please join us this coming Saturday 3rd December at 3:30 pm.
This years Christmas Meal is on Friday 16th December in St Catherine’s Café, starting at 12:30pm. The menu is Turkey, Sausages, Roast Potatoes, Stuffing, Mixed Vegetables and Gravy. Desert is Mince Tart, Ice Cream. They’ll also be Coffee, Tea & Crackers.
You are also invited to join Friday Friends for carols afterwards.
