HOLY INNOCENTS FALLOWFIELD

January 2018

The decorating team will swing into action to take down some of the Christmas bits after the service on Epiphany. The crib and some of the candles will stay out until the ‘official’ end of Christmas on February 2nd. Many thanks to all those who have helped with cleaning, decorating and maintenance over the past few weeks.

At some point in January an announcement will be made regarding the future of the parish. As Alan pointed out on Christmas Day, we have to have trust and move forward. And as Fr Gary O’Neill put it in his very moving sermon on Holy Innocents Day, we, more than many other communities are aware - through our name - of the risks involved in witness.

On the Sunday of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, January 21st, the church will be open for a time of silent prayer from 7-8pm.

The Standing Committee and PCC will be meeting in January.
