Almighty God,

O Lord, raise up, we pray, your power and come among us, and with great might succour us; that whereas, through our sins and wickedness we are grievously hindered in running the race that is set before us, your bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, to whom with you and the Holy Spirit, be honour and glory, now and for ever.

Amen.

Money collected will be used to purchase livestock and agricultural equipment for Africa. Please give any donations to Jonathan Brennan or Barbara in the office.

Carol Concert: We are looking for people who would be willing to make some mince pies to be served at the end of the Carol Concert, if you can help please see Inga.

Service Rotas: The new service rotas for January are in the pigeon holes.

Food Cupboard: Please remember the food cupboard when you are out shopping, we are now in the process of making up Christmas parcels for the needy in Normanton.

Communion: Non-alcoholic wine is available at each communion service just ask the administrator when you come forward if you would prefer.

The new rotas are in the pigeon holes.

Help: Has anybody got any drain rods that they can lend Chrissie Steels?
