In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.
Genesis 1: v1-4

Dear, Friends.
Welcome to the Advent and Christmas edition of the Benefice News. There is a lot going on, but I hope you get close to God in the silence, in the gaps, in between the business. Writing over 700 years ago, Marguerite Porette said this of St Mary Magdalen:
​
‘Then she found God within herself, without seeking him, and, too, she had nothing to seek for, for Love had laid hold of her.’
​
We sometimes sing the carol, ‘Love came down at Christmas’. If we experience real love this Advent and Christmas, Love will indeed have come down, and Love will indeed lay hold of us. We will have God within us.
​
There is a lot going on at both churches, so please make a not of the ‘What’s On’ section below. This will be reproduced on the notice boards in both churches.
​
But do take time to breathe as well, because God is always here, in us, around us, inspiring us, energizing us, comforting us. Thanks be to God for his endless love!
​
With love and best wishes,
Adam
God Bless
