Tuesday 13 December 2022 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Last Sunday we had a truly wonderful Nativity Play in church and I want to thank all the children, parents and helpers who were involved. I was very impressed by the children; we certainly have some excellent readers and budding actors amongst us! Thank you to Ruby, the musicians and all who made this possible. Although we celebrated the Nativity Play last Sunday, we are still in the season of Advent. I invite you to join me for our final Advent Space evening, which offers time and space to reflect and pray in the midst of the busyness of these coming weeks. Advent Space 3: Yes
Diocesan Prayers for Light for Ukraine
Christmas Sale Site
This Sunday, 18th December, 10am, we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent. The service will be a Sung Liturgy, when we sing some short parts of the liturgy. I encourage all of you who know this well and enjoy singing it to come along to help with the congregational singing. Carol Services
Sunday 18th December, 6pm: A service of lessons and carols at St Ursula's, followed by gl&ue;hwein and mince pies. Do invite your friends and neighbours. I have been asked by several people about why we are not holding a carol service in the Heiliggeistkirche this year. This is because there was no town choir or anyone to lead it. The choir was one of the main attractions of the service for many people and without the choir we thought the numbers attending would be much lower. The prospect of a smaller congregation in such a huge church was rather depressing. Hence we are holding the carol service in our own church this year. We will review the situation for next year. Other Christmas Services: Christmas Eve, 24th December:
Christmas Day, 25th December
Please do come and join us for one, or several, of these Christmas services. Advent Prayer and Blessing Stir up your power, O God,
Christ the Sun of Righteousness shine upon you,
With love in Christ,
