It was lovely to see the Cathedral full on Tuesday for the Carol Service. 
A big thank you to all those involved: (in alphabetical order…) cooks, musicians, pray-ers, readers, servers and speakers.
An even bigger thank you to God, for sending Jesus. Without them, the celebration of the Carol Service would have made no sense

Christmas Box project
The collection for the Christmas Box project was S/.1469, which will be used to pay for:the printing of the evangelistic colouring booklet, transport to the differentchurches/groups (almost all in the Cuzco and Abancay areas), and (if enough) theprovision of chocolatada in these groups. 
​Some of the groups are in remote highland
rural areas; warm clothing left over from Esther´s Closet is also being sent to these villages.

If you would like to help sort the Christmas boxes which are now in the Cathedral, please see Penny Marcés. 
There will be a trip to Abancay to deliver some of theseboxes. This will be from 4th to 9th  January. Please see Penny Marcés for details.

On Friday (16th Dec) there will be a meeting for the “central Lima” area presented by the VCF team (Vida Cristiana y Formación – Christian Life and Formation) to share the findings of their 2-year survey of all the Anglican groups in the Diocese of Peru. 
They 
have already shared their findings in Southern Lima, Northern Lima, Arequipa and Huancayo, and this meeting on Friday will be for “Central Lima”, ie the congregations of the Cathedral and La Ascensión. 
It will be in Spanish but there will be translation.
The 
significance of these findings for the Cathedral, and how we should act, will also be discussed. If you are interested in the development of ministry in the Cathedral, please make attending this meeting a priority

The Christingle Service
 Which will be held next Sunday, 18th December, 4pm. 
This service, of German 
origin, is designed to help children understand the Gospel. There is a lot of singing, and a simple message. 
Please invite any families you know. 
If you can help prepare the 
Christingles, please come to the Cathedral on Saturday at 10am

Don't Forget
On Wednesdays there is a time of Advent Worship and Meditation, from 7.15 to 8.30 in the Rectory. 
​As we prepare for the coming of Jesus, both at Christmas and His second 
coming, this meeting is an opportunity to reflect on different aspects of our relationship with God.

Search for our Rector
The deadline for applications has been extended and we have placed more adverts in publications. So if you know of anyone who may be interested, please send the to the profile and tell them to contact us:
Search for a new rector
Also please continue to keep this matter in your prayers, as well as the commitee who are working hard to find the chosen person.
