28 November 2010. Advent Wine & Cheese Party.

Once again the Friends held their Advent Wine & Cheese Party.

This year the heavy snowfalls created huge difficulties. Only three members of the choir & a total of twenty five members of the congregation managed to make it to the Priory. Colin & Jean Sutcliffe were bringing the wine & abandoned the journey to church at Addingham and a fair number of the committee had to do the same thing.

Fortunately Jill Riley who was leading the team for the party, together with some other members of the committee were able to get to church. The Rector stepped in & loaned us wine, coffee, tea, milk & sugar & a very much reduced party took place. The "Dunkirk" spirit prevailed & those who were able to be present enjoyed the Advent service & the party afterwards. Congratulations to Jill & her team for their superb effort under the most trying conditions.

Bolton Priory - Autumn Talks 2010

‘Life, Living and Belief: a personal reflection’ - we have chosen this title partly because our congregation’s have expressed an interest in hearing about the thoughts, feelings and experiences of others regarding the effects and impact of belief on life and living, and partly because it allows individual interpretation by each speaker.

The Speakers have been asked to talk about their thoughts, feelings and experiences concerning “Life, living and belief”, and having asked each to present ‘a personal reflection’.
I am sure we can look forward to an outstanding series of Talks.
Please put these dates in your Diary so that we can make this series even more successful than last year’s.

Each Talk will be given in The Priory Church, Bolton Abbey on a Friday evening starting at 7 o’clock and will last up to an hour followed by questions.

For further details, contact: Bernard Windle: 01943 862548
