Sunday 17th November, 2nd Sunday before Advent

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Great Malvern Priory on the 2nd Sunday before Advent. We are so glad you have come to worship with us today. Coffee is served in St Giles’ Chapel after the 10.30am service. Do join us.

This Sunday we will be offering a BIG welcome to Paul Tester, partner with Church Mission Society, to our worship at 10.30am Parish Communion.  He will be speaking to us about the task of mission in Latin America which began with him in Lima, Peru some years ago and before the children Sophia, Emilie and Annabelle were born.  The family has now relocated to Oxfordshire with the girls settled in new schools, and they will be able to enjoy more frequent visits with their extended family and grandparents too. The Priory church has been supporting Paul, Sarah and the family through CMS and through our giving each year which is very much appreciated.

We are very pleased that the vicarage is looking very smart after the completion of some internal redecoration, another step closer to Roger and Rachel being able to move in early next year.

In two weeks’ time, on Sunday 1st December at 6.30pm, the Priory will be hosting the Deanery Advent Carol Service. Please come and mark the beginning of Advent with Christians from across the deanery.

Thank you to everyone who came to the remembrance service last Sunday. We feel it is important that the Priory hosts such civic events, and we were very pleased to do so. Our own remembrance at 11am was also a very fitting tribute to the fallen.

In His Love,

Neil and David, churchwardens.
