Second Sunday of Advent

Dear Friends,

A warm welcome to all parishioners and visitors as we celebrate the Second Sunday of Advent.

Keep Christ in Christmas : Dear parishioners let us ensure that all know the true meaning of Christmas. Please take a “Keep Christ in Christmas” poster home and display this in your window. Maybe also at work. Yes, it is nice to exchange presents but do our neighbours know about the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day? Let us remind them it is Christmas.

Christmas Ice Magic: On Saturday 13^th December, St Augustine’s School in Frimley are hosting “Christmas Ice Magic”, as well as a Christmas market and Santa’s Grotto. This will be the areas only ice-skating experience. Tickets for the skating cost £10 for 30 minutes and can be purchased in advance at: pta-events.co.uk/st-augustines

Thank You: to all the volunteers that came to assist at the Church on Saturday 29^th November. With your help we were able to clear the old shed and debris, clear leaves and complete the new shed base. Despite the wet weather everyone was in good spirits, and it was also as great opportunity to get to know each other better. If you can spare a little time on the occasional Saturday morning we warmly welcome your support. The next event will be announced sometime in the new year when the weather improves. Thanks for your support.
