Whether it’s a blue Christmas or winter solstice to you, however your feeling about this season don’t let it be your LONGEST NIGHT. Join us for fellowship and community tonight at 7pm.

Hear the 9 Christmas lessons, sing traditional carols and emerge in the glowing peace of the season, this coming Sunday evening! ( I’m sure a mince pie or two will also be doing the rounds) EVERYONE WELCOME!

This third Sunday in advent gives us all as part of the church family (yes that’s you) the opportunity to experience the Christmas season through the eyes and from the mouths of babes.

Irish Methodist World Mission are offering 18 – 25 years olds the opportunity explore leadership and justice with peers and community leaders for 2 weeks in July 2018.For further info and application form from Gemma, email: gemmabarclay@imycd.org

Maybe not everyone would be delighted to get a Christmas gift like this,

BUT, in some parts of the world, these are perfect gifts:

1. In Ethiopia, farmers need watering cans to water their vegetables. They live in a very dry place and
they are using new farming methods so that they can grow more food.

2. In Zimbabwe, many people in rural areas do not have clean safe water. However, they are putting in
special pumps that can bring up water from underneath riverbeds that appear to be dry but where
there is actually good clean water; you just can’t see it.

3. In Ghana, poor farmers are given goats to breed. They use the manure for their crops and sell the kids
for extra income. They also give some of the kids to other farmers to get them started.

In all these stories, our Methodist Church in Ireland (through World Development & Relief) is helping local

people to make these things happen.
