Concert - Friday 14th December

Fr Phil has been approached by a local promoter Tim Quinn, to invite a singer to give a Christmas Concert in church on Friday 14th Dec. Tim as involved in the recent 600th celebrations at Oswestry School. While he was in town he took time to visit our church and thought it would be a perfect place for Beck to sing a selection of Christmas music. She is from Australia and has just released her second album. One of her claims to fame is that she is a cousin of Kate Bush. Tickets will be on sale on the door and the concert will be at 7.30pm. The parish will earn a percentage of the ticket sales. Watch out over the next few weeks for posters and adverts for the concerts and lease encourage those who like gentle Celtic folk music to come along and prepare for the Christmas Season. Please visit her website to hear some of her music.

Advent Shoe Boxes

The school and parish were very generous in the preparation and collection of shoe-box presents for the Children’s Society. They use these presents throughout the year for families in need and the Society is always grateful for such gifts. They have asked us if we would have a special collection this year and arrange for boxes to be collected before Christmas so that they will be able to distribute them before 25th Dec. Also could we make them specifically for the under 5’s. So lots of baby things and small gifts for small ones. We will collect the boxes during Advent and they will collect them during the week before Santa!
