Christmas in Trellech and Penallt Christmas greetings from the Vicar It seems as if we have only just finished Harvest lunch and now we are almost into mince pies and mulled wine. how quickly it all comes round again. On the surface it all seems the same. The same church services, the same parties being planned and the same jobs to be done at home before Christmas arrives and we will probably all have the same Christmas dinner. But is it all just the same? For some, maybe, but for others Christmas Friends of will be very different to how it has been before. For some it will be the first Christmas without someone they love, for Trellech Church others it will be the first Christmas with a baby in the house, and for others the first Christmas married, or living away from home, or without family visiting. Things do change and when and Churchyard they do, it is good to find the deeper unchanging things Christmas brings with it. The unchanging love of God, a deep rooted hope that brings us all back to the babe in the manger. The promise of new light, hope, peace, in a world and in lives that do experience change from year to year. As this letter Christmas Quiz encourages people to reflect on the changes in their life and the St Nicholas Church Trellech constant presence of God’s love in all those changes, so the Christmas message of Peace and Good Will challenges us to Tuesday, 6th December 2016 also reflect on the changing world and the many in it, who 7.30 pm without our help will find themselves untouched by Christmas. As we remember the Christ Child who came to bring good news to all people, may we all find it in our hearts to be generous in our giving this Christmas, not just to our family, Entrance Licensed Bar and our friends, but to the stranger as well. And may that be the source of all joy and blessing. £2.50/person available John and I wish you all a peaceful, blessed Christmastide. Sandra. .
