NOTICE
The St. Leonards PCC give notice that a Faculty has been granted by the
Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) for the removal of three Lawson
pines located in the south west corner of the
churchyard. These trees have now been
removed because they were in poor health
and were deemed to be a danger to the
nearby church building (see photo of tree
stump showing rotten area which was teeming
with ants).
It is a condition of the Faculty that suitable
long lived replacement trees, in an appropriate
location and at an appropriate height (of at
least 10-20 feet) will be planted in accordance
with the long-term management plan of the churchyard. Such a plan will
be submitted to the DAC and the Local Planning Authority for approval.
Peter Gould, Church Warden

Thoughts and Prayers for Advent, Christmas and the New Year
Isaiah 9 : 2 & 6
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in
the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. For to us a child is
born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The NIV Bible
Prayer for the Month.
Gracious God, at Christmas time we hear of your birth in Bethlehem and
we will rejoice in that, but we know your message is for everyone, we
remember that you came to set people free and to offer a new
relationship with God breaking down the barriers which keep us apart,
bearing the price of our disobedience and opening up the way to life.
May Jesus be born again in our hearts and made known through our
lives, through the words we say and the deeds we do, the love we share
and the compassion we show, the faith we proclaim and the people we
are. May his light shine afresh in the world, bringing hope, healing, joy
and renewal. May we not just talk in this season about good will to all,
but do something to show what it means. God of grace, you have given
us so much, teach us to give in return..
In your name we pray. Amen
Prayer Points for December/January
Pray for the world so full of anxieties and worries, uncertain of the
future and unsure of the way forward
Pray that the New Year will see a solution to the bitterness and
fighting in Syria and Iraq and be a time of new beginnings
Pray for those who could be alone at Christmas that their need of
fellowship and friendship will be recognised by those around them.
Pray for the homeless and those without food or water or shelter
this Christmas that the world will not forget them.

Chineham & Sherfield Park
On Thursday 30th October between 11.00 and 22.00, burglars targeted 2
homes in Four Lanes Close, Chineham.
My advice is primarily to prevent people accessing the rear of your house by
securing the back garden. Fitting a burglar alarm will either prevent or
reduce the impact they have if they do manage to force entry.
Property marking/recording will help increase the chances of police catching
the criminals and getting your belongings back to you.
This a timely reminder we are and always will be a target for burglars.
Please ensure that you do all you can to
protect your properties, particularly over the
festive period when criminals know there will
be even more new and valuable items in your
homes to steal.
I am pleased to report that the male I arrested
last month for behaving suspiciously towards
two young girls has been charged and will be
attending court shortly. Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year ! PC Jim Charlton 21015 and
PCSO Richard Strauss 14735
