Dying Matters
Talking about death, dying and funerals raises big questions that it’s helpful to face at some point, but it can be hard to talk to family and friends. On Wednesday November 13th there is an opportunity to come along to a session from 10am to 12 noon at 17 Wellington Avenue, Princes Risborough (home of Revs. Steve and Rose Williams) to think, chat and articulate these questions in a relaxed environment. A series of question cards are used to encourage conversations and to listen to others’ perspectives and experiences in small groups. The sessions are open for people of all faiths, doubts and none. To book a place on this session please contact Rev James Tomkins jamestomkins@btinternet.com 01844 275944

Advent Fair: November 16th (10-12 noon)
Please can you sign up on the list in the porch so that we can make a special hamper for the raffle for the Advent Fair. Thank you (Cathy Farquhar)

Confirmation ‘Classes’
A number of people have recently expressed an interest in being confirmed in the Church of England. If you (or your son/daughter) would like to consider this please contact James. The ‘classes’ usually involve a couple of sessions lasting approximately two hours each. Confirmation is traditionally seen as the entry point to receive Holy Communion as a person ‘confirms’ for themselves the promises made on their behalf at their Baptism. A confirmation service will be arranged in a nearby church (possibly at St. Dunstan’s) with a local bishop leading the service.

Christmas Concert with the Chinnor Silver Band
This will take place on Wednesday December 11th at 8.00 pm.
