St Petrock’s Christmas Coffee and Craft morning

A reminder that we hope you will join us this Saturday morning 6th December, from 10.30am to midday, for the annual Christmas fundraiser for the church. We have lots of wonderful craft stalls as well as our own church stand with goodies for presents, a raffle with terrific prizes to win, a selection of home made Christmas cakes and goodies, a special hand-made Christmas cake to be won by raffle, a bottle raffle and entertainment for the children. Everyone is welcome, there is no admission charge. Hot drinks and home made mince pies will be on sale to tempt you between browsing. The church looks beautiful with a decorated tree outside, greenery and candles and twinkly lights inside, along with festive music. Come and enjoy a relaxing hour of two with other villagers and visitors. See you there! Kate and Marion

Wonderful Advent Welcome on Monday!

Thank you to Allan Sutton who arranged the fifth year of welcoming Advent to Timberscombe, with a fabulous arrangement of music, poetry, readings and good humour for the enjoyment and reflection of all. The Moor Harmony singers were a delightful and impressive addition, conducted by Claire Stronach, and added to the range of entertainment for us all. With a decorated and warm church, lit christmas tree outside, and mulled wine and nibbles to keep us hale and hearty, it was a lovely event. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this so enjoyable. Almost £100 was donated towards church funds. Marion and Kate
