29th November 2009 – Christingle Service including a collection for the Baby Clinic in Jerusalem.  The service is at 4.30 pm followed by tea at 5.30 pm.

We hope to be carol singing in Tesco, New Oscott once again this year.  The date is yet to be confirmed but will hopefully be at the beginning of Christmas Week itself.  We are fund raising for ‘Help for Heroes.’  Watch the notices and December CONTACT for firm details.

After our successful efforts last year singing in Erdington Co-op, we hope to be doing the same on Saturday 19th December.  Fund raising has traditionally been for the Methodist Relief and Development Fund and this year should be no different.

Our ‘Carols by Candlelight’ service will be on Sunday 20th December at 6.00 pm.  Worship is led by David Hewitt and the collection will be for Medecins Sans Frontiere

There will be a Christmas Eve afternoon service principally for children at 5.00 pm.  All families are invited to come along and have fun dressing up and re-enacting the Christmas story.

As is customary we end Christmas Eve and begin Christmas Day with our Christmas Eve Communion Service  at which we will have a collection for the L’arche community whose motto is ‘Together for Life’

Our Christmas Day Service will be at 10.00 am and will include a collection for Action for Children.

Following our Christmas Morning Worship why not stay for our Christmas Day Lunch at 12.30 pm.  All are welcome and tickets will be available closer to the time.

Worship on Sunday 27th December will be at our church here at Station Road at 10.30 as usual and will be followed by a Bring & Share lunch.  Please bring enough food for yourself and for others to share too.

Our annual Covenant Service is on 3rd January 2010 at Stockland Green Church and this will be followed by a hot meal.  Details to follow.
