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.

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.

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.
