Deanery News

We had a very special evening with Bishop John in St. Edmund’s, Shipston, in November. It was lovely to welcome him, to listen to his word for us, and to have the opportunity to pray for one another.

Deanery Synod

The next Deanery Synod is on Tuesday, February 5^th, also at St. Edmund’s Shipston (just in case the weather is horrid). Following on from the last Synod, when we heard about working to help those who are struggling to find work, and those coping with debt, we want to look further at how we can help in our communities within our various Benefices. As ever, we meet at 7.30pm

Quiet Day for Advent

Cath Vickers is hosting a Quiet Day for Advent in The Old Chapel, Oxhill, on Friday, December 14^th between 10.00 and 3.00 pm. Anyone is welcome if they would like to come: if you do, it would be helpful if you could contact Collette on 07583 434468 or admin@stourdene.org . Lunch will be provided: donations towards its cost would be appreciated.

As we approach Christmas, may we re-discover anew the great gift that God is giving to us:

Lord, your gift to us of your very self lies, unwrapped, in the forgotten corners of our world. Give us, today, the joy of rediscovering your presence in our Lord Jesus Christ, and the willingness of inviting him into our lives.

Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas as you celebrate Christ’s coming,

Jill
