Portland Parish Notice Sheet
8 December 2019
2nd Sunday of Advent
Isaiah 11: 1 - 10 Romans 15: 4 - 13
Matthew 3: 1 - 12
Christmas Cards - Next Sunday 15th December will be the last Sunday for donations for the Dorset Women's Refuge. The idea is, instead of handing out Christmas cards in church, to put money in which will be sent to the refuge in time for Christmas. This has been done for many years now and the refuge are always extremely grateful for our help at this time of year.
Christingle - There will be a Christingle service next Sunday 15th at St. Andrews at 4pm.
Blue Christmas - A quiet reflective service for anyone facing a difficult Christmas will take place on Sunday 15th December at St Mary's Church at 4.30pm.
St. John's Wednesday Coffee Mornings - The last coffee morning for this year will be on December 18th and the first in the New Year will be on January 8th.
Christian Against Poverty (CAP) deals with people who are in debt, and helps them get out of debt. But one thing they would like to do is to give each member of their clients' families a Christmas Stocking. So if you would like to help you need to ask Tim or James for a Christmas Tag, which has details of who the stocking is for e.g. ‘Boy, 7 yrs, likes playing outdoors and games’, then you can fill that stocking with appropriate items. If that is too much then why not join with someone else.
Facebook Page – Portland Parish now has its own Facebook page. It’s called “ Portland Parish – the Church of England on Portland”. Please like and share.
Parish Communication.
The PCC’s Communication group would like to have permission to send emails to you. If you are happy to receive Parish emails then please indicate this by sending an email to admin@portlandparish.org.
