Deanery News The end of November marked the beginning of Advent: depending on when you receive your magazines, there may still be time to tell you that there is to be another Advent Quiet Morning in The Old Chapel, Main Street Oxhill, on Saturday, November 29th, led by Revd, Cathy Davies. The morning will run from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm: coffee will be available from 9.30 am, and a light lunch will be served afterwards. (Elisabeth Ashworth would appreciate knowing numbers for lunch if possible: 01608 686391). You are welcome to come for all or part of the morning: this is a space to be still as we think anew of the enormity of God’s coming to us at Christmas. Looking ahead, the next Deanery Synod will be on Tuesday, 3rd February, at St. Edmund’s, Shipston, when we will welcome the Dean of Coventry, John Witcombe, as our speaker. As we move into Advent, and look ahead to the celebration of God’s coming to live among us, some words written by Liz Babbs: The Real Work of Christmas

the last present has been opened and the last mouth fed.

the lost Making room for Jesus: Liz Babbs
During Advent The Travelling Nativity will be making its way from
home to home in Oxhill and Whatcote, helping us to think about the true
meaning of Christmas, and to share with each other God’s message and promise
of love and hope. The journey begins in Whatcote Church on Advent Sunday,
November 30th during the 9.30am service, and ends in Oxhill
Church at the Christingle Service on Sunday, December 21st at
9.30am. If you would like to receive a visit from Mary and Joseph during
this time, please let me know: Jill Tucker, 01295 680663 or My thanks to all those who kindly gave me donations following various village events: as a result of your generosity, two pairs of goats have now been sent to villages in Africa! Every blessing, Jill Jill Tucker. 688193 |
