Parish News & Events
Parish Sundowner – 23 November, 6.30pm
Bring a dessert plate and whatever you would like to drink, as we give particular thanks to the Ward family, and to all who volunteer in our parish.
Advent Study – 3, 10, 17 December, 5-6pm @ St Barnabas
The parish Advent Study will explore a short book by J.R.R. Tolkien – "Leaf by Niggle." Tolkien wrote the book in a single day – and it very much belongs to the Christian tradition. As we explore the book together it is my hope and prayer that it will tally well with the Advent season.
The study group will meet in the side chapel
at St Barnabas Church, 5pm-6pm on December 3, 10, and 17.
A sign up sheet will be at the back of both churches on Sunday.
