From Fr. Bernard
Hello All, The most immediate notices I have to pass on are those that relate to today. There will be Morning Prayer and the Eucharist at St Mary's this morning from 9 am, and we will remember St Nicholas, but also keep the feast of the Conception of the Virgin Mary, since we are at St Mary’s, and Fr Bernard won’t get a chance to do so otherwise! However, there will NOT be a working party at St Mary’s today, nor will there be one in January. The next working party at St Mary’s will be on the 7th of February 2026. This evening at St Barnabas, the Stewkley Singers present ‘Deo Gracias’, a concert of choral works by Bach, Britten, Poulenc and Stanford, at 7:30 pm. Also tonight, the St Nick’s Supper is at 7:30 pm at Hockliffe Grange. Tomorrow there will be the usual Eucharists at 8 and 10 am, and Evensong at 6 pm. There will also be Eucharists at 9:30 am on Wednesday and 10 am on Thursday, and on 8:30 pm on Friday night. This last follows the Bible Book Club at 7 pm in the Saunders Room, when we will be discussing chapters 1-4 of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke: the bits that cover Christmass! Also this week, we will host the Cedars School concert on Thursday night, and the Linslade Lower Christingle on Friday afternoon. As Christmass approaches, I must also remind you that the Service of Readings and Carols at St Mary’s will be at 3 pm on the 14th of December, and that everyone is invited to bring decorations to put up in St Barnabas on Saturday the 20th of December, before our scratch Nativity during the 10 am All-Age Eucharist on the 21st. Also on Sunday the 21st, at day, our service of Nine Lessons and Carols will be at St Barnabas at 6 pm. We will also have the usual Crib Service at 4 pm on Christmass Eve, and usual Midnight Mass at 11:30 pm, with Eucharists also at 8 and 10 am on Christmass Day itself. For those services in particular, and also for the Nine Lessons and Carols, we need extra help from sidesmen to hand out orders of service, and smile nicely at newcomers! There is a rota to sign at the back of church, if you can help with any of that. On the subject of volunteers, a huge ‘thank you’ once again to everyone who delivered the Christmass cards. It is a mammoth effort but really well worth doing. Lastly, a reminder that the ashes of Charles Griffin, a former Churchwarden in Linslade, will be interred in the Garden of Remembrance at St Mary’s at noon on Friday the 19th of December. All are welcome to attend that short service; please note it in your diaries now if you would like to do so. God bless and see you soon Fr Bernard The Rev'd Dr B Minton Team Vicar of Linslade Ouzel Valley Tea |
