Tom's November letter

 


 

You will I am sure recognise that you have heard enough from me in the magazine recently so this letter is very brief.  Firstly some people have been appreciative of the sermon on the seven deadly sins  and have asked for that to be published so you will find it in this months magazine.  To prepare a sermon for publication requires further editing sometimes so that is one reason why I am brief.

 The second is I want to draw your attention to the main services in November and the special sermons.  Full details of these are in the calendar.  We have a visiting preacher on November 16th the Revd David Mason who will be preaching on the theme of prisons to mark the churches National Prisoners Week.  We shall also welcome Patricia Hutchison as our preacher on Sunday 23rd November

 Advent Study Groups
 We shall be studying a booklet entitled ‘Looking & Longing’ by David Adam one of our foremost Celtic spirituality writers.  The first of these is on 24th November and will meet in the Parish Room.  These study groups will be led by Norman Start and John Hillier.

 Your priest and friend

Tom Leary
