As you are no doubt aware, the Government has announced that church buildings can open for private prayer from the 15th. We are currently looking at how we can provide this at St Nicholas and what it will look like. Bear with us while we make these plans. Neil and Andrew

At this time, the prayers of the whole church are with those suffering from coronavirus, for those working in hospitals to care for them and those working to find a cause.

By being strong together we can come through this, united as one in prayer.

It was a joy to share in welcoming three more special people into the Christian family today. We pray that they will grow strong in faith and love.

Today the Posada arrived at the McGuinness home. As they were put in place a little helper retold the nativity. One of the Wise men seems to be unwilling to leave the previous location but I'm sure he will follow the star and return to the others soon! #posada #followthestar

It is good to see our Posada welcomed at another two homes. On Wednesday they stayed with the Greys and today (Thursday) they rested at the Holland home. They certainly look well cared for! I wonder where we will find them on Friday? #posada #followthestar

Yesterday our Posada spent the night in Meerbrook Way and today were welcomed at Puddleducks Nursery. The children loved hearing the story and playing with the figures!

The Posada journey continues..... On Friday they were seen at The Lawns where our Longney and Elmore Choir sang carols for the residents. Over the weekend they continued their travels by night and by day at the Voller home. I wonder where they will be heading next?

The Posada has been out and about with Hardwicke Cubs and Hardwicke Brownies over the past 2 days. Hardwicke Cubs took the figures along to St Nicholas Court and Hardwicke Brownies made Christingles during their visit. #posada #followthestar

Our Posada has begun its journey. First stop the Walters' household where they renewed their friendship with the cat. Day 2 meant a stop at the Sullivan residence. It looks like they have found a very comfy place... https://t.co/4UuTshrJqF

This morning during our service we were invited to 'Touch Advent' through prayer stations around the church. It was a moving start to our Advent preparations.
