All the details of the XMas goings on in Chester Green are in! Note, we missed off the 7th Day Adventist Church XMas Carol Service (sorry) which is at Chester Green Seventh-day Adventist Church 220 Mansfield Rd., Derby DE1 3RB on Friday 19th December, 6.30-8pm followed by refreshments – everyone warmly welcome.
Included are details on Community Centre, Coach & Horses, St. Paul’s Church, Methodist Church and Adele Francesca Performance Academy.
Merry run-up-to Christmas 🙂
The November newsletter with some great news. We have managed to get St. Paul’s C of E Church added to the list of churches recognised by Walter Evans C of E Primary school in Darley Abbey giving children in the area a potentially higher priority than others outside the catchment area. Walter Evans’ sibling policy also means that once you’ve got one child in, the rest are guaranteed a place (this does not happen at any other school in Derby, and has caused families in the local area much pain and frustration in the past).
Also, on Sunday evening at 7pm at St. Paul’s Church is a Chester Green Remembers 1914-18 evening – A Tribute to the men of Chester Green who gave their lives in the Great War. It’s free and features music, poetry and drama based around the Great War and promises to be a busy and great event. A collection will be held in aid of Combat Stress mental health charity and the Open Road will be there, who have just released a single in aid of the Poppy Appeal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtq5fEIlLcQ).
Lots of other info in this weeks packed newsletter, so take a look 🙂
This month : are we to lose the community centre garden? The mystery of the Camp Street mound; have you lost a cat? Details on the St. Paul’s plant sale; Awards for our smallest local pub; History group and heritage centre details; More charity work from the Coach and horses, and details of up-coming events at our churches and community centre….phew….and all in one sheet of (virtual) A4!

Services for February
A message from Michael Mitton:
As we enter the last few days before Christmas, this is just a reminder of our services:
Christmas Eve: 11pm Midnight Mass – a Communion Service by candlelight with carols – for about an hour, seeing in Christmas Day at midnight.
Christmas Morning: 10am This year we are having a special Christmas Soul Sanctuary. Come at 10am and Richard and I will be serving you coffee and muffins (we are both celebrating the arrival of grandsons in the last few days!). We will have time together thinking about the meaning of the Christmas story for us this year. We then gather around the communion table for a short Communion Service. And I am hoping many of you will have opened some of your presents by 10am, and will come and show them to us!
All are most welcome to these services,
In the last few weeks at St.Paul’s we have shared together in celebrating the arrival of new babies to church families, but as a family, we have also felt the loss of dear friends, and a number of people are struggling with illness at the moment. It is the human mix of joy and sorrow, light and darkness, life and death, and it is a comfort to know that God himself knew all of this as he entered our world in that cradle in Bethlehem. May his presence be with each of us in this special season
with best wishes
Michael

If you’ve never witnessed Rosie Meek and the Open Road (regularly featured on Radio 2!), then you must try and make the XMas Candles by Candlelight (which are great, anyway!)
Happy Christmas 🙂
