Each year NWCC chooses a charity to support, For 2011 we have been able to help The Leprosy Mission with a total of £483 raised through the various events we host, including the Christmas pantomime and the quiz nights. Thank you to all who made this possible.
The charity for 2012 will be announced soon …
Our New Year’s Meal is on Saturday 14th January at St Barnabas Church Hall, Weeke from 6.30pm. If you would like to come please let us know your meal choices. If you have a printed menu then please fill that in ASAP and give it to Julie. If not you can fill one in online. There is a modest cost of £10 for adults and £5 for children (but if that might be a problem for you then please let us know). This includes the three course meal, fruit juice or wine, and coffee to finish. There will also be a Wii in the side room in case younger ones need something to occupy them.
The end of 2011 is nigh, and we at NWCC would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing in all the events, services, and everything else that went on.
We will be having a service as normal on Sunday 1st January (10:30am, Weeke Community Centre), to which everyone is welcome.
If you have made a New Year’s resolution to get more spiritual in 2012, we would be honoured to travel with you on that journey, whether you are far along, or just wondering whether to even start. We believe that God’s gift of Jesus, that we celebrate at Christmas, really is the only way to make sense of life. At NWCC we learn more about Jesus together, we invite you to learn with us too.
Last night (20th) Christians of North Winchester gathered at Waitrose to sing carols and also collect for the local charities – Night Shelter, Basics Bank and the Trinity Centre. We all had a great time and the total raised was £213!
We would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ to all who gave so generously, and of course, to Waitrose Winchester for hosting us and being so helpful.
Our Christmas Candlelit Carol Service will be on Sunday 18th December, 6:30pm at the Weeke Community Centre. Afterwards there will be coffee, mulled wine and mince pies. Everyone welcome.
For 2011 the final Cinema Club 49 of the year will be at St. Barnabas Church Hall at the usual time of 3:30pm. Last year it was snowing in December but there doesn’t seem much chance of that this year!
There will be two films as usual. Parents are welcome to stay or head off, maybe for some more Christmas shopping. At around 5:30pm there will be hot dogs and mince pies to finish with.
This year’s pantomime is Treasure Island and the first showing in this Wednesday 7th December, 7pm. There are still a few tickets left for each night. You can purchase them on the door, or book then in advance by just sending us a message. All Wednesday tickets are just £1, Thursday to Saturday are £4 for concessions and £6 full price. Profits go to our charity of the year, The Leprosy Mission. During the interval the Weeke Community Centre bar will be open.
The last Matinee Film Club of 2011 is this Wednesday 7th December, 3pm. The film will be a Christmas classic, and, as usual there will be tea, coffee and cake in the interval. Everyone is welcome, and if you need a lift home then we can provide that too.
Tickets for this years pantomime are now available. Performances will be held on 4 nights from Wednesday 7th to Saturday 10th December 2011, at the Weeke Community Centre, 7pm.

Each year we have a fabulous time and raise funds for our chosen charity of the year, which for 2011 is The Leprosy Mission.
This coming Sunday our service will be held at Littleton Millenium Hall, at the usual time of 10:30am. The Weeke Community Centre (our usual venue) are organising a big charity event the previous night so we have agreed to relocate to ease the tidying up effort.
The service will be an all-age service led by Revd. Jonathan Mutton. As usual, all are welcome.
