    All hallows', Bromley by Bow. Christmas communion.
    When Christmas comes we shall remember, and in all the new year we shall not forget.
    Our First Christmas Communion in the Great Peace will be hallowed by the memory of our loved ones who made the great sacrifice. Will you therefore regard this Card, with its beautiful vision of the sunlit land to which our Lord and Saviour has led us, as a personal invitation to join with us in consecrating ourselves anew to His service.
    Christmas Day.
    Holy Communion ... 7, 8 and 11 am.
    Carol Service … 3.30
    With best wishes for a Christmas of Thanksgiving.
    Charles Clark, Rector.
