Both the November and October Pastoral Council minutes are posted on the Pastoral Council Ministry page. Find these and all past editions under Ministries : Pastoral Council or click here.

Read the November minutes to find out why they are sponsored by Steeleye Span's rendition of Gaudete (the third Sunday of Advent and which means "Rejoice".)

The "word puzzles" for the October issue include:

• parasemantics - can you find it in a dictionary?
• cups, chalices, ciboria, censors, candles - what two things do these five things have in common?
• effete and obscure - what is?
• And what body is "not the balkanized body of a jelly fish"?

Thanks to Tom Neumann for writing the minutes. Tom can also answer any of the word puzzles above.
