Holiday at Home Reunion

On Tuesday 13^th January at 7:30 pm at St. Andrews, I uttered the fateful words “There will be no snow, I have banned it”. At 7:31 pm, it began to snow!

On Wednesday 14^th it snowed. We decided to go ahead with the celebration, and after anxious phone calls from various people, we prepared to receive our guests.

The weather might have been inclement, but the warmth of fun in the church was wonderful. Everyone was having a great time. After a vast quantity of tea/coffee and cakes, buns, etc, we settled down to a game of Musical Bingo. A visitor commented: “How can they guess the tunes, when they are all singing the songs?” Well, that is part of the magic.

Soon it was lunch and everyone had a right royal feast. (We had declared the day a non-diet day!)

After a delightful lunch we were entertained by Ken Romano, who spoiled everyone, with songs and dancing.

All through the day the guests were pampered by the Red Cross, having a relaxing hand, arm and neck massage.

We finished the day with a short communion service, led by Rev Andrew and then went on our way.

I wish to thank EVERYONE who helped, in any way, to make this day such a success. Without their dedication, the day would not have happened.

Please note that Holiday at Home 2015 will take place on the 6^th, 7^th and 8^th July at St. Andrew’s. Mark this in your diaries.

Holiday at Home is open to anyone who is housebound or does not go on regular holidays. If you would like more information, please contact me. Details will be announced shortly, but be assured - it will be 3 wonderful days of fun and companionship.

I look forward to seeing everyone in July.

Service Sheet (pdf) Welcome to worship wherever you are in the Circuit, come and join i n with the people of Allerton as we gather to worship God together. In a pretty setting opposite Ladywood Park, overlooking green space and its own graveyard, the congregation gathers from the surrounding area, a mix of faces, cultures and traditions, coming together to worship God. Call to worship: Come and worship the Lord: Cry, Holy, holy, holy! Come and praise the name of our God: The whole earth is full of his glory! Song We begin with HP 9/StF 55 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, praising God in his glory. Prayers We worship you, God of all: high above us, your glory more than we could bear to see. You have formed and shaped our world; and we look up and see the grandeur of the mountains, the power of the seas, the distant stars, the long-lived trees, and we marvel. Yet your love is also poured out upon the lowliest of creatures, insects that live but a day, sea creatures never seen by hum...
