Extracts from St John's News - January 2006

Christmas and New Year Greetings

Churchwardens Bob and Stephen, and LLM's Gillian, Hazel and Lewis wish all a Happy and Holy Christmas and offer best wishes for the New Year. They thank all those whose efforts have supported the parish during the interregnum. The search for a new Vicar is continuing and the post will be re-advertised shortly.




A Happy New Year to all. Our first meeting of 2006 will be on Tuesday 3rd January at 8 pm in the Church Hall and it is open to husbands and friends. Our speaker for the evening will be John Ebdon, of Moss End Antiques, and his subject will be Antiques. John will be happy to discuss generally any small items that you may care to bring along but no furniture or pictures please. He will not be giving personal valuations.
On Wednesday 10th January at 2.15 pm we welcome back Jill Hibbitt with some armchair exercises. After all the mince pies and Christmas fare, we have a chance to exercise our bodies and relax our minds.
The Prayer Group will meet on Monday 16th at 9.30 am in the Lady Chapel and the Corporate Communion will be on Wednesday 25th 10 am in the Lady Chapel.
