Please stay after the service to have a coffee/tea and biscuits, these are available in the hall.

 

If you would like someone to pray with you after the service, please either ask someone you know and trust or move to a seat on the front row where Mike or a nominated person will be available.  Do not feel too embarrassed to do this.  We believe in prayer.

Notices:-

Leprosy Mission ALSO A BIG THANK YOU to all those who have supported TLM in some way or other his year. If you are a box holder can you please return it to Mary Lacey before Sunday 11th Dec.

Lighthouse Quiz is now available at £1 per copy. This year’s topic is – Parts of the Body – E.g. Rowntrees did fruit ones - (4) gums. Last year we sold 120 so hopefully we can do the same this year. Why not put one in a Christmas card to a friend - they will have a chance of winning £20.00 and it will certainly help Lighthouse funds.. Thanks you for all your support for Lighthouse - Val Allcorn

Christmas services- please note that there is a service at Cherry Garth this year – hopefully at 3pm on Monday 19th – please come along and sing some carols. Also this year it is our turn to host the Christmas eve service. This will be a quieter reflective service – a calm before the excitement of Christmas day. It will start at 11:15pm and finish at 12:01am…!!!!!

Mince Pies Wanted ……..!! if you can provide some mince pie for after  next Sundays services that would be great – there is a list by the coffee hatch for more details.

Christmas Cards – Why not write one card to the whole church instead of writing one to everyone – just think,  instead of spending £1 for a card for every member (approx £60),  you can spend £1 on one card and then donate the £59 you saved to Spurgeon’s Childcare ….!!! We will also be giving our Christmas day collection to Spurgeon’s Childcare.

Restore Hope Latimer HP5 1TU.  “THE LIGHT OF GOD’S PRESENCE”- Wednesday 11th – Saturday 14th January. During the week there will be various activities including Children’s Praise on Wednesday, and a day of Quiet Reflection on Thursday. On the Friday evening and Saturday, Rob and Anna Richards will lead a mini Lee Abbey style conference (cost £30 including lunch and refreshments.) The week will finish with an evening of celebration! Please book tickets in advance as numbers are limited. Please see website for further details. www.restorehopelatimer.org 01494 764342 (office)

Miriam Martin's funeral will take place at Amersham crematorium on Thursday 15th December at 2.30pm. A thanksgiving service will happen at 3.30pm at St Peter's, Loudwater.

Next Monday – please note that there is a carol service at Cherry Garth Nursing Home at 3pm – please come and add your voice to help the singing. Also Angelicus is performing in the evening at the church 8pm – tickets are £6 and can be purchased on the door – I believe seasonal refreshments are included in the ticket price – all proceeds are going to local charity – see Rosemary Graham for more details.
