Sunday 19th December 10am & 3pm
We all love the opportunity to sing Christmas carols with gusto, perhaps more so this year because we weren’t allowed to sing at all last year because of the covid restrictions, or even stand next to each other.
However, thankfully things are different this year, and we are free to sing Christmas carols, together. On Sunday 19th December we are holding both a carol service and an outdoor carol singing event, and both are opportunities to join in with our most favourite and familiar Christmas carols.
There will be a Carol Service at 10am on Sunday 19th December with lots of carols and familiar Bible readings, followed by refreshments.
And also Outdoor Carol Singing at 3pm on Sunday 19th December. Meet in the church car park for half an hour of outdoor carol singing, also with some refreshments. Remember to wrap up warm and come prepared for all weathers!
The St Nicholas family and parade service is an opportunity to donate a wrapped gift for a child who might otherwise not receive much this Christmas.
The gifts will be given to the Barnados charity to be distributed. Please bring a wrapped gift, labelled with a suggested age and gender.
Sunday 12th December, 10am
