Parishes sign for the copies but we do not send for payment immediately. If you would like some for any Christmas Fairs then you can collect from either Diocesan Office (Hereford and Ludlow) and can return any not sold before you have to pay for them. If we can make it easier for you to sell them we will. Please contact me (details below). The important thing is to sell them!

More details on the Noticeboard Surge of signatures on power feed-in tariff petition The Church of England is calling on the Government to slow down their plans to drop the rate of returns on electricity grid feed-in tariffs for solar panels to give churches, and other community groups, more time to complete installation. It is also asking for a special community tariff. The online petition https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20928 from the Archbishops’ Council’s Cathedral and Church Building Division has already attracted almost 1000 signatures from both individuals and groups. Already 35 CofE churches have solar panels installed and more than 300 are actively considering a solar project. A Christmas Near You Just a quick reminder to add your Christmas Services to A Church Near You. Every parish has a page on this, the leading parish website in the country. If you do not have details of your church/es there go to the site and you can take it over from me (I am administrator on behalf of the Diocese not the person who adds detail)This year dioceses are promoting a special site where people can find a carol service or Christmas Services. The site is www.christmasnearyou.com. To get your events onto that site simply add them to A Church Near You and they will be automatically added. Comedian Jo Brand is backing a new website launched by the Church of England on 27^th November, to help people find a Christmas service near them. Details of Christmas, crib, nativity, Christingle and carol services posted by many of the Church of England’s 16,000 places of worship are just a click away at www.christmasnearyou.com A Church Near You If you have not yet added details of your parish to this national site why not do so now. Every church in the Diocese has an entry but detail needs to be added by you. Go to the site and register and Anni will happily transfer ownership to you The Anglican Covenant Page 4 of The NEWSpaper is devoted to this subject but there is more on the website at NEWSplus. The debate will take place at the March 2012 Synod. Other views will be added as submitted. Facebook Telfor Christian Council have a new Facebook page.
