Christmas Services at local churches (posted by Clive)

'Open House' begins again in the New Year on Sunday, 7th January, from 2pm - 4pm, at the Emmanuel Church Centre in Forest Road. We trust you will all have a very blessed Christmas and a happy New Year.
..................................................

There are many Christmas services in local churches to which you are invited - all are listed in the December 15th edition of the Loughborough ECHO newspaper.

This weekend ~ Sunday 24th - among many others, you will be welcomed at ~

Emmanuel Church - 6pm - Christingle Service
New Springs Church - 10.30 am - Christmas Eve Service
Kings Church - 6.30pm - Carols by Candlelight

'Carols by Candlelight' at Kings Church is a candle-lit evening of carols and the Christmas story, followed by mulled wine and mince pies, and many of the 'Open House' group will be there.

Event: Traditional Christmas Lunch (17/12/06)

There will not be an 'Open House' at Emmanuel Church on Sunday, 17th December!

BUT

We have been invited by the good people at Thorpe Acre Church to join them for their Traditional Christmas Lunch on that day.

Sunday, 17th December @ 1pm
Thorpe Acre Church Hall, Thorpe Acre Road

Turkey with roast potatoes and stuffing etc, with Crackers, and followed by Christmas Pudding.
There will then be games in the afternoon, and we have been invited to stay on for the Christmas Carol Service at 6.30 in the Church.

It would be helpful if you would make your own way to Thorpe Acre Church (up Epinal Way, turn left along Knighthorpe Road, and then right into Thorpe Acre Road - and the Church is on your right). For those who really cannot walk there, Bryan and I will try to collect you from Emmanuel Church Hall at 12.45pm.

Please confirm by Sunday 10th whether you wish to come, so that the caterers can make adequate arrangements; either in person at Open House on Sunday 10th, or by e-mail to me.

Bless you,

Clive

..... and many, many thanks to Thorpe Acre Church foir therir generosity and kindness ....
