With Will and Angie moving,

the PCC has agreed to

dedicate our monthly
shalom prayer meetings to
seek God for the way
ahead and for the new
Minister. We do hope that
as many of you can come
as possible so that we can collectively hear from God on our next
steps. There will be time and space to come into God's presence
to worship and pray together.
Tonight 6.30pm at the Church of the Good Shepherd

Take part this Christmas

We are really looking forward to our
Christmas Experience on the 18th
December at Wallington Girls.
We are looking for people to help serve
the mulled wine and mince pies after the
service and to help with preparing the
hall with lights and decorations before
our guests arrive. If you can do either of these, please let the
welcome desk know.
At our Christingle service it would be great for some people to
help with the crafting of the Christingles as well as preparing
some refreshments. Again, if you can help with this, please let
the welcome desk know. Thank you.
