Are you going to be on your own on

Christmas Day? Or do you know someone else who

will be on their own? A team from All Saints are offering you a few hours of festive food and fun, with

a Christmas lunch accompanied by live music, table

games, and maybe even a bit of a sing-song.

Free entry, but tickets required. Please see Caroline or Dawn to book your place, or phone Dawn on 257988.

Two new Alpha meetings are starting in the New Year- A chance to explore the Christian faith, ask questions and share points of view, all with good food and coffee. If you've been before, why

not pray about who you can invite?

The sessions run from January until Easter and start:

Tuesday 15th Jan 2019, 19.30 - 21.00 (Open to all) Or Friday 18th Jan 2019, 10.00 - 11.30 (Women’s group, runs fortnightly) For more information, talk to Nick Brooke , David Sims or Abby Dixon.

To enable parents to participate freely in the Women’s group we will be offering a crèche for their babies and preschool children. We need some more helpers to fill slots on our rota for this, so if you are available any Friday mornings please consider whether you might be able to help in this important part of our outreach to young families. Please talk to Abby Dixon

Beer and Carols @ the Pheasant.

Wednesday 19th 8-9.30pm. See you there! See Sean Spellen for more details.

IGNITE Ignite will be starting with a slightly different focus from the new year, as we meet on the 1st Saturday of the month to worship and seek God together. This will start on Saturday 5th January with "Ignite the New Year", as we kick off 2019 with non stop worship from 7pm till midnight, in church. Don't miss this opportunity to begin the year with our eyes on Jesus! For more information, see Nick, Martin or David.

Please pray for:

The family and friends of Betsan Sands and Peter Linton whose Funerals were held last week and Margaret Evans and Lewis Carter whose funeral will be held next week.

We pray for all those for whom Christmas is a painful or stressful time. For those grieving, anxious, or suffering. We ask that we may be sensitive to those around us, and that the hope of God come to be among us, Jesus, will shine in the darkest of places this Christmas.
