LETTER FROM THE OLM
Yes, Christmas is rapidly approaching once again - is it me or does it seem to arrive earlier every year?
Due to the popularity of the Crib Service last Christmas Eve, we are going to repeat it, but at the later time of 4.30 p.m., thus enabling Patsy to zoom from an earlier service at Blythburgh to be able to play for us. I am hoping to involve children (and some willing parents) in the service. Over the Christmas period there will also be services at 9.30 a.m. on Christmas Day & Boxing Day (a Sunday this year).
Prior to Christmas we shall be celebrating the season of Advent. The Sole Bay Team, lead by the Revd. John Mockford, will be holding a Quiet Morning at Reydon Church Room On Saturday 11th December (10.00 a.m. - 12.30 p.m.) to which everyone is invited.
Don't forget the Christmas Luncheon Club on Friday 10th December at 12.30 p.m. in the Village Hall. The cost, as usual, will be £5, and will include a glass of wine and other extras! It is not too late to book for the lunch.
Let me close this letter with a verse from a poem by Tom Krause:
'The meaning of Christmas is not about presents or
just having fun
but the gift of a father - his own precious Son
so the world would be saved when his work was all done.'
May God bless you and grant you a happy and peaceful Christmas.
Brian Fisher.

Farewell Jim Johnson
We were sad to hear of the death of Jimmy Johnson in a car accident in Canada at the end of August. Jim, a teacher for the US Air Force, married a Walberswick girl and came to live in Lodge Road. He was a highly popular figure on the tennis circuit and won many prizes.
He continued to keep in touch after returning to his beloved homeland and it was good to see him last year.
Jim was a regular worshiper at St Andrew's.
