If anyone is interested in helping with Messy Church on Saturday 7th December and hasn’t already been asked could they let Daphne or Karen know; it’s a lovely event and the more helpers the better. If you can’t help but would enjoy being part of it please do come at 5.50pm for the Messy Church Worship led by Rev. Sue Male followed by our special Messy Church Christmas buffet tea. There will be a sign-up sheet in Oasis for anyone who can contribute suitable items for the Christmas Tea, Karen will be delighted to receive offers of savouries and cakes.
At our gift service on 8th Dec we will be supporting Hillingdon Refugee Support Group. They are in need of warm clothing for both males and females aged 16-21; ie, glove and scarf sets, scarves, hats, snoods etc. They would be very valuable as many of the young people who are new in the country do not have these items. Thank you.
There will be an Advent lunch on Sun 8th Dec – the sign up sheet is on Oasis notice board if you wish to attend.
Holy Trinity will be leading the annual carol singing get together in Costa Northwood “Carols @ Costa” on Monday 9th December 6 pm – 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome. This is an opportunity for us to bring the message of Christmas to those who don’t usually come into a church.
The Church friends Christmas tea is on Sat 14th Dec. Church friends are requested to check their pigeon holes to pick up the invites for people in their group and distribute accordingly. A sign up sheet for donations for the tea is on the Oasis notice board for everyone to volunteer some food or drink for the afternoon. Help is also needed on the day to set up for the CF tea, but more importantly to help serve and clear away.
