This coming Thursday, 26th February the normal 11.00 a.m. Holy Eucharist will be replaced with a special service for Lent. All are welcome.
This means that the next Holy Communion service at Aljambra will be this coming Sunday, 1st March at 6.00p.m., which will also mark St. David's Day, details of which have already been posted.

Nice communion service last Sunday taken by our Vicar- Rev. Pauline, with several members of the congregation that don't attend else-where. Come & join us next week for a simple Service of Evening Prayer.

For anyone with Welsh connections, our 6p.m. service of Holy Communion on 1st March coincides with St. Davids Day. A selection of Hymns using well known Welsh tunes will give everyone an opportunity to have a good sing. The service will be followed with coffee and a selection of Welsh delicacies such as bara brith, welsh cakes, Welsh ginger bread etc. If you would like "a welcome in the hillside" here in the Almazora valley come along to the service. All are welcome.
Directions to the chapel in Aljambra are listed elsewhere in this forum.

A warm welcome on a cold night at the Service tonight as always.

Scriptures this Sunday are:

Gen 2: 6-26 (God's power displayed in the creation and filling of the Earth) and
Lk 8: 22-35 (Jesus demonstrates his power in stilling storms non the Lake and in the demon-possessed man of Genesara).

The Psalm is set as Ps 65.

And the Hymns are:

The Lord is King
Father, Lord of all creation
Be still my soul
God of Grace & God of Glory

We very much enjoy the services at Aljambra and on Sunday we celebrated Candlemas which was a really lovely service. They are a very friendly bunch of people and if you live in or around the Albox area and are looking for a church it is well worth coming to one of the services and staying for a coffee and chat afterwards.

This next Sunday, 8th February, there will be a Service of Evening Prayer at 6:00 pm.

This is the fairly traditional form of Prayer Book Service that most of us older residents will probably remember from our younger days! Though the hymns are often rather more lively than I recall from my youth.

The Service usually lasts around 50 minutes, and is followed by Coffee and Chat, for those who aren't in a dash to get home before it gets too dark, afterwards. A friendly bunch - honestly - so feel free to drop in and introduce yourself.

This coming Sunday, 1st February 2015, the Service at 6:00p.m. will be a celebration of CANDLEMAS, when the infant Jesus was presented at the Temple (Luke 22), where Simeon used the words that have subsequently become known as the Nunc Dimittis:
"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; to be a light to lighten the gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel."

It would help us with catering to know approximate numbers staying for lunch after the service. All are welcome but a reply to this post with numbers would be apprecated. The main course will be CAWL (a welsh stew made from lamb).

Just to clarify; the next Service at Aljambra is Communion at 11.00 am on Thursday 29th January, which will be followed by lunch and an opportunity for a good chat, hosted on this occasion by David and Cath.

Drive up Av Lepanto from the traffic lights opposite the BP Garage in Albox on dual carriageway, past Campo de Futball on right and Mercadona on left. In 600 yards the road narrows and a short distance later when faced with a No Entry sign (suicide corner), turn RIGHT, then keep STRAIGHT ahead at next junction. Keep on this road forking LEFT at The Corner Shop, then crossing Rambla Hortichuela, past some new houses, and fork LEFT immediately after crossing Rambla Honda, following street lights and signs for Aljambra. Mind the speed hump! Aljambra Chapel/Community Centre is about half a mile on the left, with a car park just past it.

Great. I know where Perel is, past la Vida bar & it's probably in the Hall on the left actually in Perel village, but where is Aljambra?
