Letter from the Chaplain – November
Thursday, November 20th, 2008 | Letter from the chaplain | No Comments
For me November is not a month that lifts the spirit. The clocks have gone back that hour and the dark is upon us by teatime! Somehow it feels as if it’s a long dreary road until Spring, and that we must endure the cold and damp between now and then – sounds rather depressing doesn’t it!
Yet in reality there is much to look forward to and this season of Advent which is beginning is a period of preparation for that wonderful event of Christmas. Of course we will be swamped with all the secular manifestations of a society which in the main has lost the meaning of Christ’s birth, but for those who are Christians this time of preparation and looking forward can be one that is uplifting and can help us refocus on what we are about and what our mission is.
Advent gives us an opportunity to assess and reflect on our journey both as individuals and as a parish. November 8 is to be a day on which all are invited to attend a meeting at St Faith’s school and, under the guidance of the Reverend Steve Pittis, to explore that journey and to look to the future. I hope that this will help and guide us during the weeks ahead so that we can approach Christmas with a sense of optimism and positiveness.
We at St Cross have so much to be thankful for and, in spite of the woeful worldly situation, should nevertheless look forward with joyful anticipation as we put our trust in God’s promise to us and with Mary, the mother of our Lord, praise him for sending His Son to share in our humanity.
With every blessing,
Reg Sweet
Chaplain

St Faith’s Hall Fair
Monday, November 10th, 2008 | Events | No Comments
Please come along to the St Faith’s Hall Fair.
Get ready for Christmas and support the Parish Hall.
Several regular users of the Parish Hall set up stalls each year just before Christmas and invite Parishioners and neighbours to buy gifts and goodies. Proceeds from the Fair help maintain the building. Do come and bring your friends.
Cakes to sell and raffle prizes will be very welcome!
We hold this fair every year on the last Saturday in November, so put the date in your diaries.
