A big thank you to John Edwards and the Jubilate choir for entertaining us on Sunday afternoon with "Rejoice and be Merry". We were treated to an eclectic mix of different Christmas songs including John's own rendition of Nine Lessons.
Well done to everyone and thank you to the audience of over 50 that turned out on a cold and blustery afternoon.
Sunday 8th December at 2.30pm.
We are delighted to announce that the JUBILATE! Choir, directed by John Edwards, will once again be performing a concert entitled ‘Rejoice and Be Merry’ in St. Ippolyts Church.
It will be a programme of Yuletide music and carols with an opportunity for some audience participation to get you into the mood for Christmas.
Tickets at £6.00 include teatime refreshments. Please purchase tickets at the door on the evening.

On Friday 20th December we will once again be carolling our way around the Broad Meadow estate to raise funds for the UK Sepsis Trust.
We meet at Barbara's (1 Ash Drive) at 6.15pm. and work our way around the estate. All carollers are invited back to Barbara's for mulled wine and mince pies (or squash and biscuits) when we finish. Everyone is invited to come along and join in, the aim is to enjoy ourselves - we make no pretence at being a choir, so it doesn't matter if your singing voice is not great. If you love singing carols, we are bound to sing your favourite ones (song sheets are provided). The more carollers we have the better we sound and young children really enjoy the excitement of being out after dark! Children of primary school age or younger need to bring their own adult.
If you live on the estate, please listen out for us and be prepared to answer the door to our team of collectors. For any more information please contact me - This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 01462-421647.

We will be decorating the church for Christmas on Saturday 21st December from 9.30am. Please come and help if you can. We will need greenery to put around the church and on the window sills and white flower arrangements with possibly
a hint of silver. Christmas is a very special festival so the Church should look its best!
We will also need help clearing up the Church on Tuesday 7th January from 9.30am. Don’t forget to come and collect any baskets, vases, etc., which you have used.
Date of next meeting:
Our next meeting will take place on Wednesday 15th January 2020 at 10.30 for 11.00am. at Thistley House, Gosmore, home of Anne Steel.
