United Benefice December 2022 Magazine

December Magazine 



Dear Friends, 

 

We are delighted to share with you the final 2022 edition of our United Benefice magazine. As we begin Advent and prepare to celebrate Christmas, our December 2022 magazine is another extremely busy edition.  

 

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to our monthly magazines throughout 2022. As always, this is your magazine and anyone is welcome to submit an article to be included. Please can all items for our January 2023 magazine be emailed by Wednesday, 4th January. Thank you. 

 

With so much happening locally, our posters supplement, once again, contains lots of information. We are now inviting younger United Benefice members, particularly our 11–18 year olds, to design these posters for us. Thank you so much to our younger members who have already designed our Festival Of Light, St Mary’s Carol Service and Christingle posters. If you know any United Benefice members, who would enjoy designing posters for us, please let us know. All volunteers welcome!   

 

In this month’s events posters section, you will find details of: 

 

  • FOSS Christmas Fair 
  • St Leonard’s Christmas Fair 
  • Mellor Village Hall Christmas Fayre 
  • Our Festival Of Light Service 
  • Little Angels 
  • FOSMS Father Christmas Evening 
  • A Christmas Celebration Event at Mellor Brook Community Centre 
  • Our Carol Services 
  • Our Christingle Services 
  • A Ceilidh at Samlesbury War Memorial Hall 

In our advert supplements, we include four updated adverts. As many of us are busy buying Christmas presents, Goosefoot Gin have updated their advert, and as we share festive meals together, The Feildens Arms, Mellor Brook have updated their advert too. Following the success of their Tuesday coffee mornings in November, The Spread Eagle, Mellor, have extended their coffee mornings by the fire into December, and Progressive Wills have also updated their advert details. 

 

In 2023, we hope to both welcome new advertisers and that our loyal local businesses will renew their adverts with us. The fee for a twelve month advert remains at only £25, so if you know of any businesses who may wish to place an advert, please let us know their contact details or encourage them to contact us. Thank you. 

 

Please continue to follow us on Social Media at https://www.facebook.com/BMSBenefice or search for our three individual parish church Facebook pages. 


Finally, from all of us involved in putting together your monthly magazine, we wish everyone a very happy Christmas and all the very best for the new year,
