featuring for the first time, St Mary’s in the December picture. A
kitchen calendar with a tear-off postcard plus a recipe for each month,
it is great value for money at £3.50 each – or
£3 each if you buy 2 or more. Available at St Mary’s (supplies are in
my car boot!) or contact me by email at marybates@btinternet.com and I can arrange delivery – within reason. A donation for each calendar sold through the church will be made to the Linkage’.

Almighty God,

that on the last day,
when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
to judge the living and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
