Hi everyone,
This Sunday we will be thinking, in the run up to Advent, about the hope of God’s promise in a broken world. I hope that you will be able to join us in High Littleton or Paulton to praise and celebrate as we look forward with hope.
This Friday is the Church Cafe in High Littleton from 2.30pm to 3.30pm if you want to join us for cake and chatting.
Thursday 21st at 7pm will be the Service for the Departed in Paulton, if you want to light a candle for those you have loved and lost.
Posters for the Christmas dates are now displayed below…. Time to start quietly humming Christmas songs!
Don't forget Yvette's confirmation is on Saturday 17th at 2pm followed by food and fun in the Red Lion, all are invited.
If you want to continue tracking with some of the sermon ideas as they develop I have included some more links to useful content that can help to keep us on the same 'wavelength'. This week, an analogy of the Christian life as a dramatic performance, if you fancy a long read:

Knit and Natter meet in the back room of Paulton church on the first Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4pm. The next meeting is on Wednesday 4 th December 2024.
Everyone is welcome to come along and join the group, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a cake and have a good natter!

Morning prayer is taking place at 9.30am Wednesday in Paulton and Thursday in High Littleton. It begins with 15 minutes of quiet reflection, followed by Common Worship morning prayer.
The Church of England have updated their Morning Prayer APP. You can now listen to morning prayer from the app. I would encourage you all to take this up as a daily practice, it is a great way to grow a pattern of prayer and learn the rhythm of responses each day.
You can download the app here: https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/apps/daily-prayer

Every blessing to you all.
Adam
