It is a busy time in Advent with so many services and community events happening in the church, and we want to thank everyone who has been, and is so supportive, of them all. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to everyone who supported our Christmas coffee and craft morning last Saturday 6th December. It was a very happy and busy event with lots of people coming to meet up with others, enjoy refreshments, and browse for seasonal gifts. Our craft table holders were delighted with their trade and business was brisk which was excellent. Our fabulous home made Christmas cake was a great success and helped, along with donations, contribute to a wonderful total which has now risen to £812. We thank everyone who helped in any way, to make this a great annual fundraiser for the church.

And yesterday, Sunday 14th, we had our Carol Service which was a joyous event with a packed church. Again, our thanks to all the helpers who made this possible and so enjoyable, with varied traditional and more modern readings, plenty of singing and all finishing with mulled wine and lashings of mince pies. None of this would be possible without your support, and we thank you all.

Christingle is always celebrated with great enthusiasm in Timberscombe, so make sure to arrive in plenty of time! on Christmas Eve for a 5pm start. All are welcome.

Thank you from Marion, Kate and all the PCC
