NEW YEAR’S DAY:
Now that we have entered the season of Advent, several people have been thinking of those who may be alone over the New Year. As New Year’s Day will be on a Sunday, we will extend the tea and coffee after the 10am Mass to cover the lunchtime period and to offer a light lunch, free of charge. As there will be no buses that day, we’d like to set up a lift service for those who have no transport and would like to attend. Could you offer to give someone a lift to the church and take them home when they are ready to go home? If so, please ring 729516 to link to someone who needs a lift.  Could you help to prepare and serve food for an hour between 10.30am and 2.30pm? If so, ring 431970. Could you bring some prepared food when you come to Mass on that day? If so, please bring it to the church hall at any time between 10.30am and 12.30pm. Would you like to join us on New Year’s Day?  If so, just come along any time between 10.30am and 1.30pm and enjoy a chat and some food. If you need a lift, please ring 729516 so that we can link you to someone who can pick you up and bring you home later.
