Good evening friends,

Well I’ve had better weeks – a nasty bout of sinusitis wiped me out for nearly two days and it’s been hard to catch up today! My apologies for anything you are waiting for that I’ve not delivered. I’ve a day off planned for tomorrow, in addition to my usual Friday as we have a friend here from Texas, so please don’t worry if I seem absent tomorrow – it’s planned! I am taking him to Cardiff to enjoy the museum and the arcades. It should be lovely. How is your week going?

Can I just remind you that we have two MA services on Sunday – 11am in Goytre for our usual 5^th Sunday Eucharist, and then 6pm in Raglan for the Darkness to Light Service, marking the first Sunday of Advent. 

Then on Saturday 13^th December we have our MA Quiet Day, in the hall in Llanfair Kilgeddin. This will be an opportunity to pause and reflect upon the season, in the company of our wider church friends. Please do come along. 10am- 4pm. Please bring lunch with you.

There is a huge programme of services and activities planned for the next few weeks and at the service in Goytre on Sunday we will be distributing the Christmas cards for everyone to share in their communities. Thank to all of you for making sure that every single church and community is able to celebrate and look forward to Christmas. You are an amazing lot!

Finally, just a little word of reassurance. These weekly emails go out to around 250 people and although I hit send at a reasonable time of day, I am aware that sometimes the email doesn’t hit your inbox until the middle of the night. Please be confident that if I haven’t sent it by 8pm I’m not going to. But you may not receive it as I send it. I promise I am never hitting send at 1.30am or some other crazy middle of the night time! Thank you to those of you worried and concerned who have checked in with me about this!

And with that, I’m signing off.

Be assured of my prayers and I hope to see you over the weekend.

With much love,

Sally xxx
