Carol Services

There was a great buzz in the hall on Sunday 20th December as over eighty people turned up at Craft and Carols making a selection of 11 crafts, ranging from ice-cream cone angels to edible baby Jesus, donkey poo and wise men's hats. There was lots of mess and noise with glitter, icing and PVA glue being spread liberally on various crafty concoctions. We retreated into the church for a short service highlighting Jesus as the first and best Christmas present, followed by tea and biscuits and finishing off crafts afterwards. It was great to see a number of guests and families from the area, remembering the true meaning of Christmas.

The Carols by Candlelight was the "best atmosphere for many years" according to a congregation member, and the candle lit church did look beautiful. We applaud all those who braved the lethal icy conditions to sing and celebrate the Saviour's birth - and they received a warm welcome.
