AV at Holy Ascension
We have a rota of four people, including two teenagers, running the
Audio Visual system at Holy Ascension. We are looking for further
people to be able to do the AV during Benefice Services. It requires
about 30 minutes to be shown how to use it and one Sunday to sit
alongside the person doing it, before joining the rota.
Please contact Steve Rowley on Telephone Number: 01451 833877.

Collect for the Fourth Sunday of Advent
God our redeemer,
who prepared the Blessed Virgin Mary
to be the mother of your Son:
grant that, as she looked for his coming as our saviour,
so we may be ready to greet him
when he comes again as our judge;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
