Sunday 12th December –
The Third Sunday of Advent
Additional Collect
God for whom we watch and wait,
you sent John the Baptist to prepare the way of your Son:
give us courage to speak the truth,
to hunger for justice,
and to suffer for the cause of right,
with Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
On the Way: Fruitfulness and Sustainability
Continue to pray for the churches in our deanery as we seek to become more fruitful and sustainable.
Sunday Services
We are delighted to be able to offer public worship in all of our churches.
For regular Sunday services, there will be no need to book in advance, although places are still limited.
As government Covid precautions move from being law to guidance, we encourage everyone to continue to show their care for one another, and especially the most vulnerable, through social distancing and the wearing of face coverings when in close contact with others.
We will continue to provide hand sanitiser and administer communion in one kind only, but we are delighted that we will be able to sing. Please follow all of the safety advice you are given when you attend, and do not come if you are ill. For more information, please see the Coronavirus Update page.
Online worship from March 2020 – June 2021 is available on YouTube, and this website

Carols for St Petrocs
I have been asked by St Moritz hotel to sing carols for the visitors on Christmas Eve 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm
We are planning on raising money for St Petrocs.
Two years ago we had a fun time. It is very informal….. you can just turn up on the night, but it would be helpful to know who might like to join me.
Nothing professional, just a joyful noise!
