Thought for the Week
Christ, our Saviour, is born.
Eternal God breaks into human existence to transform and redeem it.
In the darkness of night, God’s majestic glory becomes a vulnerable newborn baby. Creator of all is entirely dependent on those he has created.
Such is the measure of infinite love
~~~~~~~
NB St Helen’s church is now closed for refurbishment for the foreseeable future. The services usually held there on the 2nd & 4th Sunday’s of the month will now be held at St Peter’s, Seaview. We extend a warm welcome to our usual worshippers and hope to see you there. All plate money at these services will go to St Helen’s Church funds.
The services previously advertised as being on Christmas Eve at 3.00pm outside St Mary's and at 4.00pm outside St Peter's have now been cancelled, as has the service on Sunday 27th December at 8.30am at St Peter’s.
Thank You
Rosemary Wood and her family would like to send their sincere thanks for the many messages of sympathy & cards which they received on the passing of Chris.
~~~~~~~
A very happy Christmas and every blessing
for
A better 2021
to you all
