Trip to Oberammergau 2020
I am organising a trip to Germany to see the Passion of Christ which, only happens every 10 years.
Professional actors portray the Life of Christ and bring it to life as you watch his story unfold, done
throughout various part of the village indoors and out. This has taken place for over 500 years in
this little German village, so if you are interested please do send me an email. It will not be binding, I am simply trying to see if there is enough interest to form a larger group from our area. kimberleykford@aim.com or 259 2238.

Saturday 15th December
Open House at the Vicarage 2-4pm for tea and cake or 7-9pm for mulled wine and nibbles.

Service of 9 Lessons and Carols 
Would you like to read a lesson at this lovely service when we hear the Christmas Story unfold through the biblical narrative and traditional carols. It would be great to have 9 volunteers please instead of 9 pressed persons. Amy Cook

Sound and Vision
We are now developing more services using sound and vision; using the digital projector and mixing the sound through the sound desk. We are keen to get more people involved in helping to set up and "tech" some of these services both at St Andrew's and St Cuthbert's. If you think this is something you could help with, please speak to Dave or Simon.

Ladies Night Out
Ladies Night Out met together for a meal last Wednesday at the Oadby Grange Farm Pub and it was
decided that the January LNO will be in the evening, as usual. So advance notice - Wednesday
