FEAST OF THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD: This Sunday 11January, we
celebrate the Baptism of The Lord, which brings to an end the Church’s
celebration of Christmastime. It is a Feast Day on which we can give thanks
for the sacrament of baptism and personally renew the faith promises made
for us on the day of our baptism.
WHITE FLOWER APPEAL This will take place on 11 January in our
Church, in support of SPUC. It was a great disappointment to hear of the
ruling of the Supreme Court recently, going against the midwifes who had
refused to assist in Abortion operations. Please continue to pray for the
protection of the Unborn Child.
