This morning we were able to return to church again. We had a family service with Christingles, most appropriate as it is St Nicholas day. As we are accustomed to in the family service, the presentation was given by Mrs Field, She talked about Advent, and the opportunity to reflect on ourselves and see how many of the gifts of the Spirit we are showing in our lives, rather like an Ofsted inspection. She challenged us to remember what he gifts of the Spirit are! (1 Corinthians verse 12, if you want to check for yourself!) Following this the christingles were distributed.
The Choir were able to sing 2 Advent hymns and 'How Beautiful Upon the Mountains' by John Stainer as the offertory. It was a great joy to be back in Church again!
The christmas draw will take place on Wednesday 16th December at 3 pm.

Mark 1:1-8
Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God.
As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,
"See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way;
the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
"Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,'"
John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness,
proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
And people from the whole Judean countryside
and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him,
and were baptized by him in the river Jordan,
confessing their sins.
Now John was clothed with camel's hair,
with a leather belt around his waist,
and he ate locusts and wild honey.
He proclaimed,
"The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me;
I am not worthy to stoop down
and untie the thong of his sandals.
I have baptized you with water;
but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
