The new OIKOS-BRIGG shop will open in December at
67 Wrawby Street selling Christian books, both new and
used, Christmas cards, Traidcraft gifts. It will also serve
as a ‘drop in centre’ and an extra town outlet for the Brigg
Food Bank.
We are open for business each Thursday, Friday &
Saturday 10am – 3pm. The official opening will have
already taken place at Brigg Christmas lights. Do pop in,
have a browse and say hello.
The Posada’s journey began on November 25th at the
switch-on of Brigg Christmas lights and will end at the
Methodist chapel on Christmas Eve. Thanks once again to
the town shops and businesses for giving shelter to Mary
& Joseph on their journey through Advent to Christmas in
celebration of the birth of Jesus.
The Advent Course will run each Thursday at 12.15pm
led by Revd. Enid Knowles. This is held in the church
coffee lounge and, though it began on November 25th, it
is open for anyone to join at a later date. Soup and a roll
will be provided with donations given to charity.
The Chapel Anniversary takes place on December 5th
at 10.30am when the Revd. Angy Long will lead our
integrated worship. The Revd. Angy is Superintendent
Minister of Scunthorpe & Epworth and was our interim
Superintendent until 31st August this year. It will be good
to see her again.
The Christmas Praise and Worship will be led by our
Worship Leaders on Sunday December 19th at 10.30am.
We give a warm welcome to anyone who wishes to come
along.
Christmas Day Worship will be a zoom service only and
take place later than usual at 11am. This will be led by
Rev. Enid. There will be no service at chapel.
Café Church will be held on the first and third Tuesday of
each month at 10am-11am and now meets at the OIKOS-
BRIGG Shop so feel free to come along.
Thursday Prayers have restarted on the first Thursday
of each month at 10.30am in the Prayer room at church.
If you want a quiet space please feel free to come along.
The Annual Covenant Service will be a little later than
usual on Sunday 16th January at 10.30am when we
welcome members of St John’s and anyone else who
wishes to join in this act of worship.
The Wednesday Group, which has not met since the
beginning of Covid, hopes to restart in January 2022.
Hopefully, this will take place on Wednesday afternoon
instead of evening. Watch for details on weekly notices
and Facebook.
The editorial team advises readers to compare the reported final destination of the Posada with that reported on page 37
