I know we often say it, but this year really does feel as if 2002 *Mrs Marilyn Billington 878418 it has flown by despite the strange and often worrying times that we are 1976 Mr John Binns 837143 Rev’d Gordon Barker 824116 living through. Perhaps it is because we have been preoccupied with so 2010 *Mrs Mary Black 851348 Mr Phil Faragher 813051 many other things that the time seems to have flown. 1971 *Miss Mavis Cain 621157 Canon Judith Ley 2001 Mrs Marilyn Cannell 878261 Rev’d Dawn Mather 629202 2010 Mrs Elaine Christian 622888 This is a time for new beginnings. Advent marks the star of the new 1988 Mrs Calleen Cochrane 834146 church year as we return to the beginning of the bible account of the life 1990 Mr John Corkish 832517 of Jesus. Shortly we will celebrate the beginning of a new calendar year. 2011 Mrs Katherine Corkish 832517 We are very grateful to everyone who offers a Every New Year’s Eve brings the promise of a fresh start as we look 1996 Miss Norma Cowell 676120 preaching ministry across the circuit, and hold them in our prayers as they lead God’s people in worship, forward to all that the year holds. Often there is uncertainty for many as 2010 *Mrs Beverley Cowley 438771 1984 Mr Paul Craine 851861 teaching, praise and prayer. the year dawns. This year, especially, we will want to pray for all those 2001 Mrs Marinda Fargher 861039 who are anxious about the future and look back on a year which, for 2013 Dr Tim Grass 819619 them, has been marked by separation and grief. 1999 Ms Stephanie Gray 670691 1982 Mrs Jean Guthrie 626494 The message of Christmas is that God is with us in the midst of the mess. 2017 Mrs Phyllis Jackson 622973 2016 Mrs Brenda Kinnish 861568 This is a message of real hope that we need to hold on to and share in 1976 Mr Frank Manning 838078 many different ways. We are privileged, here on the Isle of Man, in the 1998 Mr Kevin Mort 833727 freedom that we have to gather together for worship. This will not be the 2002 Mrs Lesley Motley 845312 experience of many of our brothers and sisters across the water. Let’s 2008 Mrs Rita Norrey 824616 make a special effort this year to ensure that all who join us over the 2008 Mr Nicholas Owen 675032 1991 Mr Bert Quayle 843157 Christmas season go away with a message of hope for the future and 1979 *Mrs Mary Radcliffe 812622 having felt truly welcomed. 2020 Mrs Caroline Salmon 810995 1971 *Mrs Thelma Wilson 834450 Wishing you God’s blessings throughout the Christmas Season and 2015 Mrs Sue Yardy 812385 peace in your hearts as the new year dawns.
