Advent/Christmas Appeal
This year our Advent/Christmas Appeal is for Rowan Humberstone, a local charity which runs an arts centre and forest school for adults with learning disabilities.
Since 1984 Rowan has provided a safe, creative, and enriching environment where the arts are used as a tool to bring people together and tackle social exclusion. Rowan is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm, for 50 weeks a year.
Students can specialise in one area or join a number of different workshops, enabling students to develop their individual social and communication skills and participate in a stimulating group experience. Workshops can be attended for full or half days to suit each individual.
Students can choose to work on their own personal projects, on Rowan’s commissions, or make things to sell such as our popular mindfulness Finger Labyrinths, which we sell across the world! The forest school enables students to be creative and connect with nature.For more details see:

Carol Service – 18 December
Many thanks to those who have already volunteered for the choir and/or as readers. I could still use a few more readers, so please email me or speak to me at church tomorrow morning.
