Come along tomorrow Saturday December 20th at 10.30 and join in the spirit of Christmas by helping decorate our amazing church. There is plenty for everyone to do with the tree , decorations and flowers as well as practice for the children’s nativity play.
Reminder: the Nativity and Carol Service is 6pm on Sunday 21st.
There is a bell ringing practice this Friday 19th Dec at 19:30.
We will be treated to a Christmas Quarter peal on Monday 22nd at 0930 by visiting bell ringers.
As you may have seen in the December edition of Horley Views or on the notice board, volunteer car drivers are required for the Cherwell area to help people who need transport – this may be for such things as a hospital appointment or shopping.
Volunteer Connect is a service which connects people in need of transport with volunteer drivers. It is run by the Citizens Advise Bureau in Banbury from their office in the market place.
Maybe you know of someone that could use this service and you could tell them about it; or maybe you would like to volunteer yourself? Perhaps this service could help our rural community?
To find out more: Call 0300-3030125 or email info@volunteerconnect.org.uk or call in to the CAB offices.
On Sunday 21st at 6pm our Church will host another one of our special annual events with both the Carol Service and Nativity Play.
Then on Monday 22nd everyone who wants to join in Carol Singing around the village will meet at 6:30pm at the Old School.
The Ladies Guild would like to thank everyone in the village and all the visitors who supported our Christmas Market and made it such an enjoyable evening, plus raised £1,649 for our amazing church.

See the Horley Correspondent to get a preview of our village news report coming up in this weeks Banbury Guardian ………… it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
Its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas………. thanks to Horley’s Ladies Guild and all their “little helpers” for making our Church so special and once again bringing us a fabulous market.
We were accompanied by Horley’s own “Wandering Minstrels” who found themselves a nice corner to entertain the crowds as there was no room to play and wander. At one point it was so full that someone commented its like “Black Saturday around here”.
We had a very special visit from Father Christmas and his “Elf and safety officer” who also had help from a little Elf in rearranging the grotto. Well that’s Elves for you they should be called Pixies! What that poor Father Christmas has to put up with, still at least the children have been good and went away with a presents.
The count down begins……………..
