Last Lent Lunch…
… this Tuesday at 1200. Bible Study at 1115 for those who would like to come to that. Many thanks to Dawn, Lorraine and other volunteers for organising these lunches, making soup and serving. We’ll announce the total raised for the St Anne’s Centre soon.

Hope for Ukraine
The film night, Tom Cotcher’s event and last Sunday’s collection raised a splendid £1,765.55 for the DEC Ukraine Appeal. Many thanks to all who took part and/or supported these events. Donations can be made directly to the DEC online. Tom sends his ‘heartfelt thanks to the congregation for their generosity of spirit as well as their donations.’

Can we help?

Dear Fr Anthony

As you know, we work in partnership with the St Anne’s Trust to provide breakfast and lunch to homeless and vulnerable people from our church hall. The numbers show no sign of reducing.

The gas cooker in our hall (owned by St Anne’s) is on its last legs. Due to the cost of a replacement gas appliance and flue requirements etc., we have decided to go for electric instead.

St Anne’s will purchase the cooker and have grant funding in place. St Mary’s will support with all the removal costs, installation, a new 32 amp fuse board, wiring, sockets, connection, and a stand for the new oven and a stainless steel table for three induction hobs.

The cost to St Mary’s is estimated at around £3,100. We have over £1,100 set aside from our Christmas appeal and a further private donation of £1,000 has been earmarked. It would be great to be able to raise the remainder as soon as we can to get these new facilities in place. I am asking if St Margaret’s might feel able to make a contribution for what you will know is a real need in our part of the city. Thank you so much. 

With every blessing,
Fr Andrew Woodward Vicar of St Mary’s, Kemp Town

Please let Fr Anthony have cheques payable to St Mary's Church, Kemp Town or be in touch with him to ask for bank details to make an electronic transfer.

Singalong film night in church – ‘Singing in the Rain’
Friday 25th February at 1900.  Entry £10 – all proceeds to go to church funds.

To make it a bit easier for some people to attend, from 3rd March the Thursday Eucharist will be celebrated at 1200 instead of 1000.

Ash Wednesday – 2nd March
Please bring along last year’s palm crosses to church in the next couple of weeks ready for burning for Ash Wednesday. A Eucharist with Imposition of Ashes will be celebrated at 1900.

Healing Services
These will resume on the first Sunday of each month at 1700, beginning on Sunday 6th March, to coincide with the beginning of Lent and the second anniversary (almost) of the first national lockdown of the pandemic.

Can we help?

Dear Fr Anthony

As you know, we work in partnership with the St Anne’s Trust to provide breakfast and lunch to homeless and vulnerable people from our church hall. The numbers show no sign of reducing.

Christmas services and events – important update

We have decided to exercise caution in our celebration of Christmas and the following services and events are cancelled:

Sunday 19 December – Festival of 9 Lessons and Carols
Tuesday 21 December – Concert by The Brightones
Friday 24 December – Family Crib Service
Other advertised services will go ahead as planned. Face masks are compulsory, gentle singing is advised and we may need to restrict numbers.
This has been a difficult decision to make but we are seeking to act responsibly at this time of uncertainty and increased risk of Covid infection. Thank you for your understanding. Fr Anthony

Music at St Margaret’s

Advent Concerts in Church

 

Friday 10th December at 1930

Ovingdean Choral Society Christmas Concert

Finzi – ‘In terra pax’; Holst – ‘Christmas Day’;

Vaughan-Williams – ‘Fantasia on Christmas Carols’.

Tickets £12 available from Dawn Davidson, Ann-Marie Newman

or on the door.

 

Sunday 12th December at 1430

 ‘Shepherds Arise’

Nearly thirty enthusiastic local singers, musicians and mummers present a selection of beautiful old West Gallery carols from Sussex villages accompanied by flute, fiddle, bassoon, clarinet and concertinas. Between the carols are readings about Christmas in Sussex in the past, and the musicians play lively dance tunes from old Sussex manuscripts. As always, there will be some old favourites & some new additions. This is a lovely celebration of Christmas from earlier centuries, still full of the joy and delight it gave then.

Free entry. Retiring collection towards St Margaret’s Church.

 

Saturday 18th December at 1500

Massimo Redaelli (violin)

Violinist Massimo Redaelli will perform a solo programme including the first of Bach’s solo Violin Sonatas (BWV 1001) and the Second Partita (BWV 1004). Massimo performs on a violin by Thomas Urquhart, instrument maker to the English Court, from around 1680, in its original set-up. This violin is close in construction to contemporary northern European models and thus particularly suited to Bach. Tickets £7.50, raising funds for St Margaret’s Church.

 

Tuesday 21st December at 1930 (live and live-stream)

The Brightones

The acappella trio with local musicians Ellie Edmonds, Emma Stannard and Georgia Bishop will perform a selection of jazz standards, traditional folk songs and Christmas songs. The concert will also be available to live stream. Tickets £5.

Help required

To take pressure off the Churchwardens who do so much for us behind the scenes, we are looking for volunteers to organize and serve refreshments at the four concerts this month. Please do help if you can and let Dawn or Heather know your availability.

 

Christmas Flowers

Please consider making a donation to an arrangement of flowers for our Christmas services. We’ll keep it simple but beautiful!


Christmas Cards

We’re having church Christmas cards produced using images of the stained glass windows which depict the Annunciation and Nativity. They will be available for sale next week. Many thanks to Sarah Lawrence for designing them for us. Also, the PCC suggests that rather than sending cards to each other in church, there will be one large card for all to sign and members are encouraged to donate the money they would have otherwise spent to our Christmas charities.

 

Christmas Mission Giving

At its meeting on Thursday, the Parochial Church Council agreed that our Christmas collections would be divided equally between Off the Fence (restoring the lives and hopes of the homeless, women at risk and vulnerable school children in Brighton & Hove) and Voices in Exile (supporting refugees, asylum seekers and those with no recourse to public funds). Please give generously.

  

Visit to Brighton by John Bell

John Bell, founder of the Iona community, is coming to St Nicholas’ Church, Dyke Road, Brighton on Thursday 9th December at 1930.  Hosted by the Gender & Sexuality group, John will speak on ‘In solidarity with outsiders… how Christians deal with difference’. There will also be Iona inspired worship.  Admission free, all very welcome. Refreshments afterwards. John Bell (born 1949) is a Scottish hymn-writer and Church of Scotland minister. He is the founding member of the Iona Community, a broadcaster, and former student activist. He works throughout the world, lecturing in theological colleges in the UK, Canada and the United States, but is primarily concerned with the renewal of congregational worship at the grass roots level.
