Advent Food Hampers 
St Matthew's Westminster

During Advent St Matthew's will be again supporting In Deep, a charity which collects food hampers and distributes them to the local and housebound. We are asking for your help with this: please bring in dried or canned food (no perishables) during the week or on Sunday, any day until the 17th December when In Deep will collect the food packages.

An evening with Joanna Lumley 
St Mary-le-Strand

The National Churches Trust are sponsoring this evening with Joanna Lumley in which she will talk about her love for this historic church building, which she finds particularly intriguing. There will be a wine reception afterwards.  Further details are on the website here. Numbers are limited for this special occasion so book early to avoid disappointment.

An Evening of Poetry with Paula Gooder and Malcolm Guite
St Matthew's Westminster

Sharing insights from her latest book, Journey to the Manger, Paula Gooder leads us through the genealogies, prophecies, births and the aftermaths of the Advent story.

Tickets are £5, available here or in Church House bookshop.
