‘Tis the season for love, laughter, and one of the most cherished stories of all time! Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the hilarious Muppets in this merry, magical version of Charles Dickens’ classic tale. Academy Award (R) winner Michael Caine gives a performance that’s anything but “bah, humbug!” as greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge.

Emma’s maternity leave begins on March 5th for a year. We are very fortunate in that joining the ministerial team during her leave will be Revd Dr Ian Bailey and Revd Canon John Bowes. Ian will be seconded to us from St Peter’s Henleaze for a year on a 15 hour a week basis and will work alongside Mike and the rest of the ministerial and leadership team. John is, of course well known to most of you and will be leading worship/preaching at one 8am per month and one 10.15am/11.30. Plans are now in place for covering almost all of Emma’s workload while she is away, but if you do have any concerns please do talk to any of the members of the leadership team.
We will be saying Morning Prayer every weekday morning in St Oswalds Chapel, beginning on Monday 27th Feb, at 9.30am.
Do come along and join us.
