Advent and Christmas
Our Christmas trees and decorations are now up in both St
Peter's and Blessed Mary (thank you to all
those who have helped) and you would be welcome to come to spend
some time as we all prepare for a
simpler more reflective Christmas this year.
Our prayer is that from the message of Christmas all would
comfort and joy in all the difficulties going on,
and so have find hope through the light of Christmas that shines
in the darkness. Some of the normal
things we might do are not possible (Christmas Shoe Boxes and
donations to help the homeless*) so St
Peter's and Blessed Mary have made special donations so that
help will still be given.
As we look towards Christmas, if you are able to keep an eye out
for anyone who is going to be on their
own, or perhaps make a special donation to the Food or Baby
Bank, that would be wonderful and the
essence of the heart of Christmas.
With prayers.
Revd James

Meon Valley Baby Bank - £1,000 Donation on offer!
Our insurers Ecclesiastical Insurance are donating £1,000 to 10
charities each weekday for the period 7
to 22 December and as a Church, we are automatically eligible to
enter the "competition". Individuals are
invited to nominate their chosen charity so the more people who
nominate St Peter's, the greater the
chance of us receiving a donation.
If successful, the donation would go towards the cost of setting
up the Meon Valley Baby Bank in
particular the acquisition of a shed for secure storage, and the
costs associated with this.
All you have to do is to go to the following link:
https://www.movementforgood.com/12days/index.php?cn=1128411&ct=church
and complete this where indicated. It has been pre-populated so
will take you no more than a couple of
minutes to complete.
Please feel free to pass this on to any family and friends who
might also be happy to support us.
Thank you
Revd James, Paul Emmerson and Hannah Horner

New Visual System
I am very pleased to announce, that as a result of a very kind
donation, we have been able to install a
new visual system in St Peter's including a new projector and
leaders 'foldback' screen. Once we are
fully back in church, this will really be of help for both our
some normal and special services. It will also of
course be good for events needing a visual presentation.
Looking into 2021, we have initial plans to improve our
audio/sound in various ways which is much
needed but is subject to raising the needed funds. In due course
we will be able to give you more
information, but if you have any questions please do let me
know. A huge thank you to Simon Harrison
and Paul Emmerson who are overseeing these projects.

The Chosen - Life of Jesus TV/You Tube Series
Who was the real Jesus that people met?
Would you like to look at the life of Jesus is a fresh way?
Would you like to meet the real Jesus as he was not as he is
sometimes made out to be?
Why not try watching this great new TV series available via
YouTube.
"The Chosen is a 2020 television drama based on the life of
Jesus created. It is the first multi-
season series about the life of Christ, and season one was the
highest crowd-funded TV series or
film project of all time. The series' creators stated that they
had hoped to distinguish the new
series from previous portrayals of Jesus by crafting a
multi-season, episode-based story. The
series portrays Jesus "through the eyes of those who met him".
The first episode begins in AD
26 in Capernaum where we meet Sanhedrin member and Pharisee
Nicodemus touring the region,
tax collector Matthew fishermen brothers Simon and Andrew,
demon-possessed Mary
Magdalene and wandering craftsman Jesus. The final two seasons
of the planned seven season
show are intended to chronicle his death and resurrection."
