Worship Sun 5 Dec - Advent 2 'Peace'

WELCOME/ It's the second week of the season of Advent, and following the traditional Advent themes, our time of worship will reflect on the theme of 'peace' - this, as we hear from Malachi and then from Luke and Zechariah's song.

Just a couple of notices before I put up the worship link, which are:
Volunteers wanted: if you are someone who attends worship at the church building, as well as online, this is a wee request for volunteers to help with post-service morning tea occasionally. We've recently had some folk needing to step down from this particular duty, and we're now a little thin, so if you can offer help, please get in touch with Janice Reed, who's taken on the role of coordinating the coffee rota, or you can contact me. We'd be delighted to hear from you!

'Tidings of comfort and joy' - 2pm Sat 11 Dec: a short service in the building at Abington particularly aimed at those who find this time of year a struggle due to loss and bereavement. All are welcome to attend and, if you know of anyone who you think might benefit from coming along, do let them know. After the service, there'll be time for a cuppa and chat through in the hall.

Parish Christmas newsletter: if you're on the mailing list, you should now have received the latest newsletter. If for any reason you haven't, do let Dee or Nikki know. A copy will go up on the blogsite in due course (apologies, I'd hoped to attend to it this week, but it's been one of those weeks!!).

The Guild meets at 2pm on Wed 8th in the church. Our guest will be Susan Crosby who will be guiding us through some Christmas crafts using ribbon weaving.

Kirk Session meets on Thursday 9th, this week via zoom, at 7pm

These are all the notices. You can find the WORSHIP LINK HERE

As we move closer to Christmas, may this week be an oasis of peace in amidst the preparations and rush all around us.

God bless
Nikki
