Blue Christmas Service

Sunday 14th December 9.30am St. Augustine’s Church, Kirkby in Cleveland For all who are bereaved or find Advent & Christmas difficult due to family circumstances- all welcome. We will be sending invitations to families who have had funerals recently & please invite anyone you know who is bereaved or finds Advent & Christmas difficult for any reason.

Presents Round the Christmas Tree: Following the tradition of previous years we are inviting children to place a gift of a toy – perhaps one they no longer need but is in good condition – under the Christmas Tree in church on Christmas Eve. The parcel should have a label indicating ‘girl’ or ‘boy’ and appropriate age. We will ensure the gifts go to a charity that helps needy children.

Blankets

In previous years we have been very grateful for donations of knitted blankets, hats & scarves. Last year the articles donated were delivered to the Yorkshire Aid Convoy based in Leeds (info@yorkshireaidconvoy.co.uk) who took them out to Romania in their next convoy. We would like to be able to support Yorkshire Aid again this year and would welcome any donations of knitted items or good quality bedding.

If anyone can help please contact Sheila Hayton (712321).

Christmas Boxes For The Seafarers Once again it is time for the Christmas Boxes for the Seafarers coming into Teesport over Christmas and New Year.

Please bring your boxes to Church before December 22nd, or to Pat Weighell, Dromonby Hall Farm, Busby Lane, Kirkby. Tel: 01642 712312 .

Kirkby & Gt. Broughton School To keep in touch with what's happening in school our website address is www.kirkbyandgreatbroughtonschool.ik.org Our children & their families have shown great generosity recently with events in support of a range of charities. We joined with other local schools for the ‘Love in a Box’ Children in Distress Shoebox Appeal & were overwhelmed with the number of boxes received which are now on their way to Romania where they will make a real difference to children’s lives. We also took part in ‘Children in Need’ on 16th Nov, when the children came to school dressed as their favourite superhero. The School Council organised a very successful ‘Bake and Buy’ Sale at playtime and after school & our fantastic PTA organised a Firework Extravaganza on 8 th November. A great deal of planning and hard work went into making the event a successful & enjoyable night despite the rather blustery conditions!

The next event is the Holly Fayre, which will be held in the school hall on Sat 29 th Nov. This will be a lovely opportunity for Christmas shopping in relaxed surroundings with a range of festive activities, refreshments and good Christmas cheer for all the family!

These events are not only hugely enjoyable but provide a significant boost and much needed financial support for the school for which we are very grateful.

We recently held a Book Fair in school giving the children opportunity to browse through and purchase good quality books. The support for the Book Fair has enabled us to buy a good number of new books for school benefitting all the children.

Our preparation for Christmas begins with our Christingle Service in church on Mon 1 st Dec at 2pm. Our Infants Nativity Play takes place on Mon 15 th Dec at 2pm and on Tues 16th Dec at 5.30pm The children’s Carol Service is at St Augustine’s Church Thurs 18 th Dec 11.00am Everyone is welcome.

Merry Christmas & a Peaceful New Year from us all at Kirkby and Gt Broughton Sch.

2015 Gardening Event For three years gardeners in our two villages have supported a 'Garden Day' in the Village Hall. It has enabled people to exchange ideas, share plants, pass on redundant tools &at the same time raise money for our Village Hall. It has been very successful and great fun. Now we are looking for a new team to run the event.

This doesn't mean we won't contribute, but we feel the day would benefit from new ideas.

If anyone, or any group, would like to discuss taking over, please contact Sarah Grierson at saralph.grierson@gmail.com.

January 2015 Great Broughton Methodist Chapel In the heart of Broughton, Chapel is a place of prayer, of worship, of Jesus’ love shown to friend and stranger.

Chairman Darlington District Rev Ruth Gee Sunday 4th 4.00pm Final Service Methodist Minister Rev Catherine Hutton 722437 Great Broughton

Great Broughton Methodist Chapel Will hold it's final service on Sun 4th Jan at 3pm before closing it's doors for the last time.

The service will be lead by Revd Ruth Gee, the Chair of District. It is to be a great celebration of all that has been done in Christ's service by the generations of faithful who have worshiped and served from Great Broughton Methodist Chapel.

An aging & dwindling congregation made it nonviable to remain open despite the active and socially generous attempts of several members. Recent initiatives such as the Lantern Parade, Duck race, Traidcraft

shop and Centenary Exhibition were all initiated by members of Chapel.

Rev Catherine Hutton, speaking in the Stokesley Circuit Plan honoured the faith and service of worshipers. She highlighted active involvement of the Youth Movement, the Sunday School, Mums and Toddler group, Youth Club, Harvest celebrations & charity fund raising as memorable and exemplary activities. She said that alongside the inevitable sadness will be a whisper of Love, Peace and Hope saying 'Well done good and faithful servants.'

The Memorial Window to the right of the entrance from the street will be handed into safe keeping. (below)

The iconic Art Nouveau stained glass windows can be seen above but not in wonderful colour, so do go along to the final service for a long last look!

Kirkby, Great Broughton & Ingleby Greenhow Local History Group explored Great Broughton villagers inclination toward nonconformism, enabling at one time, four separate Chapels to flourish- the Methodist Chapel being the final one, but sadly soon no more! Chapel has touched & influenced many of our lives & will be missed.

‌......................watch out for details of a possible sale of Chapel artefacts towards the end of January.
