Dear All,

I hope you’re keeping well. Here’s some news for the week ahead:

Advent Sunday services (Nov 27th):

11am Communion at Surlingham
3.30pm Tree of Light Service at Rockland St Mary.  There will be stars and candles available at the service if you wish to remember a loved one.   The tree can be visited throughout Advent and Christmas if you wish to add a star on another occasion.

Warm Welcome at the Barn has proved a great success and will continue every Monday 10am-5pm until December 19th.  It’s been good to introduce so many new people to the Barn and enjoy their company.  We are looking at the feasibility of resuming on January 9th until the end of March and will keep you posted.

Art Cafe Online looks at the work of American realist artist Janet Fish (1938- ), who has taken still life painting to new places. Please join us at 10.30am on Wednesday Nov 30th to find out more. Your invitation is here
