The ‘Knit and Natter’ group has proved a great success and new members are always welcome. It will resume in the New Year on Monday 9th January and take place every Monday thereafter at Chimney Cottage from 11am until 12.30pm. You can bring your knitting, sewing, crocheting, craftwork…or just sit and enjoy the ‘natter’ over a cup of tea and cake.

I had forgotten what a great storyteller Stephen King is and would recommend “11.22.63”. A time traveller attempts to prevent the assassination of President Kennedy – can one man make a difference? What really happened and what might have been otherwise…
An intriguing title, “Daisy Dies and Sees Naples” by David Lamb, and as thoughts in January often turn to holiday planning, what better way to cheer up in the depths of winter than reading the former journalist’s description of travelling by motor home in Europe – took a few pages to get into his sense of humour but an enjoyable book.
This month’s M C Beaton – “Death of a Kingfisher” – a high body count in this one.
Please continue to give generously.
We did it! We managed to gift every item on the Reverse Advent Calendar – thank you so much for thinking of others less fortunate.
Our monthly collections from the church porch will continue in 2023. Assistance is needed more than ever – porridge, cereal bars, UHT sponges and custard, pot noodles, tinned pies, deodorant and shampoo requested.
CHURCH ROTAS (subject to change as new rotas for 2023 are confirmed)
Thank you this month to:
Church cleaning rota:
Karen Baines; Debra Thatcher; Jacky Morrell; Annie Harvey
Church flowers:
Louise Fox; Annie Harvey; Ruth Lees
Front of House Rota:
Annie and David Harvey; Debra and Richard Thatcher; Louise and Steve Fox
A huge thank you to everyone who helped clean and decorate the church, provided the music, readings and refreshments over the Advent and Christmas period.
We cannot guarantee wise men nor the weather but please join us for a walk mostly on roads to Preston and back (when we will be travelling from the east), starting at 9:30am from Ridlington church porch, followed by light refreshments and a light-hearted quiz at 3 Main Street.
Not up for the walk? Just join us for coffee – please let Debra know if you want to attend.
The next Parish Council meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 4th at 7:00 pm in the Village Hall. All members of the Public are welcome.
Please click the link below to access the Agenda for this meeting…
Alternatively, you can access these on the Website under the heading of Minutes, Agendas and Accounts.
A Communion Service will be held in the Church on Christmas Day starting at 09:30 am.
Do come and join us when we celebrate the story of Jesus, how He gave Himself completely to give us a better life, a new start, and a fresh relationship with God.
Equally, the spirit of Christmas is in the “togetherness”, it is in the thought to which you put into thinking about others, it is a selfless time, where we forgive and take stock of what’s important…
If you need some help getting to the Church Service, no doubt there will be someone you will be able to call upon to lend you a helping hand.
We look forward to welcoming you.
