Welcome to St Benedict’s

• Benefice Advent Calendar. Contributions still needed.
  Thank you for your contributions so far to the Benefice online Advent calendar: there are still lots of days left to fill.

  This is your chance to share an Advent “gift” with everyone: a web link to a video, a piece of music, a picture, a poem, a passage of scripture, etc. Something of meaning to you.

  To find out how to contribute and for a sneaky peek visit http://www.apdiary.ukpc.net/advent.htm

  Please don’t be afraid to submit more than one “gift”.
  
  

• Open Church – Saturdays and Wednesdays 10 am – 12 noon

  St Ben’s will remain open for private prayer on Saturdays and will also open Wednesdays from and including 11th November.

  

• Benefice Morning Worship on Advent Sunday 29th November at 10am: live streamed from St John’s.

  Morning worship will be held on Sunday 29th in St John’s at 10am. However, only ministers and the choir may attend. It will be streamed over Facebook Live, with the stream starting between 9:50 and 9:55.

  To watch the stream live go to https://www.facebook.com/375988075850624/live/.

  You don’t need a Facebook account to watch, but if you do have one you can be logged in or not as you choose. The sound won’t be coming via the sound system, so if you can use headphones or earbuds to listen, you will be able to hear it better. A recording will be posted here during Sunday afternoon.
