Hello All,
The Cross and Crown for the coming week is here, and hope that you are coping with the seasonal cold and unseasonal storms! Today, there will be services up at St Mary's this morning. Morning Prayer will be at 9 am, followed by a Eucharist at 9:30 am. Wrap up warm! Weather permitting, the working party will also assemble, to help prepare St Mary's for her Carol Service on Sunday the 15th. Then, this evening in St Barnabas, the Grand Union Community Choir Christmas Concert with the Heath Band will be at 7 pm. This concert will include a mix of secular and traditional Christmas music, with some audience participation! There will also be refreshments and a raffle. Tickets are £12 for adults and £6 for those under 18. Come along and warm up with music! On Sunday, we have our usual services; a said Eucharist at 8 am, a Sung Eucharist at 10 am, and Evensong at 6 pm. Maureen Parry’s funeral is at Bierton Crematorium at 2 pm on Tuesday the 10th, and we have several school Christmass services in Church over the course of week: see the Cross and Crown for details. As already mentioned, Sunday the 15th sees the Service of Carols and Readings at St Mary's at 3 pm. If you have never been or it is a while since you went then give it a go this year. We sing well known carols and the readings are all Christmas related: stories, poems, reminiscences and one bible reading. Wrap up warm and get into the Christmas Spirit! On which subject, you are welcome to use the pigeonholes at the back of church to exchange Christmass Cards, as in years past. Or you can pin one card for the whole congregation to the board at the back of Church. Thank you to everyone who helped to deliver the Christmass cards from the Church to letterboxes in the parish, and to those who organised the printing and distribution of the cards. Your efforts are very much appreciated, both by me and by many of those who receive the cards. Please also note that St Barnabas will be open on the morning of Saturday the 21st December from 10 am for anyone who wants to bring a decoration to place in the Church for Christmass. The more, the merrier, literally! I have also been asked to say that a member of the congregation has a new bath stool and a new shower seat free to a good home. Please speak to me if you are interested. And finally, one notice for January: the Parish Magazine will increase in price to 70p and the yearly subscription to £7 as of the 1st of January 2025. This is because of an increase in printing costs. The annual subscription still gives you a discount, though! God bless, and see you soon!
