Would you like a new hobby for the New Year? How about joining The Tabor Ringers? We are a friendly bunch of ladies (although men are very welcome too) who play the handbells and chimes.

Contrary to popular belief, we do not rush around a table picking up and putting down bells. We are very sedate (well, some of the time!), sitting in two rows, although the bells do stand to play. The ability to read music is not necessary, as it is all done by counting.

Rehearsals take place on Monday afternoons between 2 and 3 p.m. at Tabor Independent Methodist Church, North Road, Timsbury. Please ring our Secretary, Barb, on (01761) 752177 if you would like to come along. This is also the number to ring if you would like our group to entertain your care home, lunch club, or social group.

Tabor continues to hold fortnightly Services at which all are welcome; details are on the noticeboard outside of the Church.

Morning worship on Sunday, January 4 was led by Michael Lowe. His readings were taken from Jeremiah and Matthew’s Gospel, entitled “The Voice of the Magi” and “The Escape to Egypt”.

Weekly sessions will return in our hall after the Christmas break.

Saturday coffee from 10am will be a bacon buttie, hot dog, or burger morning. Homemade cakes, jams, marmalade, and chutneys will also be on sale. A warm and safe place for you to enjoy, with good company.

Sunday morning worship at 10.30am will be led by Mike Honey. All are welcome.

We wish you all a happy and peaceful New Year.
