Dear Friends,

 

Please find attached your December edition of our United Benefice Magazine. As we approach Advent Sunday and prepare for Christmas, this month’s edition contains lots of information about special upcoming services and events. Dates, times and locations of all our Christmas Services, including Carol Services and Christingle Services can be found on page three of the magazine.

 

In our events supplement, posters include details of:

 

·         Christmas Market at Mellor Village Hall (2nd December)

·         Quiz Night at Samlesbury War Memorial Hall (2nd December)

·         Festival Of Light Service at St Mary’s, Mellor (3rd December)

·         Candle-lit Christmas Concert at St Leonard’s, Balderstone (3rd December)

·         Christmas Lunch Club at Samlesbury Memorial Hall (8th December)

·         FOSMS Father Christmas Run in Mellor and Mellor Brook (8th December)

·         Making Way for Christmas at Mellor Methodist Church (10th December)

·         United Benefice Carol Services (17th December)

·         United Benefice Christingle Services (24th December)

 

If you attend any services or events and would like to write a short review or report, possibly to say thank you to the organisers, or submit any photos, it is always great to receive magazine items from new contributors, so please don’t hesitate to email any articles and thoughts to us.

 

Due to the Christmas and New Year period, we don’t expect to email January’s magazine to you until Sunday 7th January, at the earliest. Therefore, details of all services at the start of January have been included in this month’s magazine.

 

Please can all contributions and updates for January’s magazine be emailed, as early as possible, before the deadline of Friday, 5th January. As always, everyone is welcome to write for and advertise in our United Benefice Magazine. Thank you.

 

During December, we will begin to contact our current advertisers to ask if they would like to renew their adverts with us in 2024. A magazine advert continues to be only £25 for twelve months and our magazine adverts are now emailed to a mailing list of more than 550 email addresses, every month, working out at more than 250 adverts for £1, which we hope you will agree is excellent value for money!  If you, or anyone you know, would like to join our community of advertisers, please do get in touch.

 

Please continue to visit https://www.facebook.com/BMSBenefice to keep yourself fully informed between monthly magazines.

 

Wishing all our readers a very happy and peaceful Christmas and all the very best for the new year,

 

Michael Oddie

Church Administrator
