Back to Church Sunday – a date for the diary: on Sunday, 30^th November, we’re holding a special Back to Church Sunday. Invitations will be available shortly, and everyone will be asked to take one and invite another person to church. 

St Paul’s Parish Christmas Outreach: we are again organising an outreach to our Parish this December. The outreach will be in the form of a Christmas Card with an invitation to join us at any of our December Christmas services at St Paul’s. The theme of the Christmas Card is “A place for you this Christmas”. There are around 1800 households in our Parish, and they have been broken down into 4 areas of our Parish for distribution purposes. Help from members of the congregation to deliver the Christmas Cards would be very much appreciated. Volunteer Sign-up sheets will be available at the back of the church. Gordon Fairbrother

Baldernock Parish Church: please join us for an evening of celebration of the life of C.S. Lewis, as we enjoy a film screening of the original “SHADOWLANDS” film, directed by Norman Stone on Saturday 22^nd November at 7.00 pm.

The Church Choir at Christmas: has it been ages since you sang in a choir, maybe at school?  Would you enjoy the challenge, enjoyment, and reward of singing Christmas music in the church?  Now's the time to give it a try!  Practices for the Christmas repertoire to be performed by the church choir are on Thursdays from 7.45 pm until 9.15 pm in the church. Last year, we very successfully augmented the choir and we're hoping that even more people will join us this year.  You would be most welcome to come along on any of the Thursday evenings leading up to Christmas. Further details from Derek Norval (07814389262).
