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.

FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY

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.

RPC Agenda 04.01.23

 

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.

 

 

Hello everyone,

Feel like starting off the Christmas festivities? Why not come to the Village Hall Social evening tonight? There will be a licensed bar, a good choice of drinks and tasty nibbles to kickstart the festive cheer….

All children are welcome, their drinks will be free of charge as usual…

We hope you will brave the cold tonight to come and join us for a cosy night in at the Village Hall starting at 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm. If you need some help getting down to the Village Hall, let one us know and we will get someone to help you.

Come and join us we look forward to welcoming you…

The Trustees
Dave, Pat, Keith, David Harvey, Henry

 

Oh and don’t forget… the next Seasonal event will be the lovely Carol Service in the Church on Sunday, December 18th from 6:00 pm onwards. So don’t miss that one either….again if you need help to get to the church, I’m sure there will be someone to lend you a helping hand.

Tis the Season to be Merry…
