Dear Friends,
Last Sunday we celebrated Advent Sunday, and this Saturday we have our Festival of Christmas Carols at Thammapratheep Church! Christmas is almost upon us!!!
But as we prepare to mark this most joyful of occasions, let us remember those who are suffering throughout the world – particularly those in the Holy Land where Jesus was born! Let us pray for peace and reconciliation as we celebrate the coming of the Prince of Peace.
Join us at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:30 a.m. on Sunday as we prepare our hearts for Christmas!
The bible readings for the Second Sunday of Advent will be Isaiah 40:1-5, 2 Peter 3:8-15a, and Luke 1:26-38, and we will be singing the hymns O Come, O come Emmanuel; The Angel Gabriel; Of the Father’s Love Begotten; and Angels we have heard on high!

Last Week’s Service
Highlights of last week’s Advent Sunday service are available here!
Festival of Christmas Carols – This Saturday, 9th December!
This is our wonderful annual Christmas event. Carol singing is led by the Lannacapella Choir and the All Saints Choristers, who will also perform their own pieces of Christmas music. Readings will be given by various local dignitaries. Invite your friends and come and help! There will be a collection in aid of the Youth Charity Foundation.
Thammapratheep Church is next to Expat Auto. Directions can be found here!
Christmas Publicity – Please take and share!
Posters are available at the back of the church! Please take them if you have somewhere you can display them. Rimping supermarkets will put them on their notice board for two weeks if you hand them in before the 1st and 14th of the month!
(You can also copy the images above and send them to your friends!)
Christmas Lunch – 25th December
Every year we share Christmas lunch together at the vicarage – nobody need be alone! Please sign up to indicate how many people are coming and also to say what you can bring.
