We were delighted to welcome members of the Sunday Stokers Group to help with our service. They did the readings and a special poem and sang heartily and created a 'junk' nativity scene; we enjoyed singing from our Quartet choir, and congregation sang all our favourite carols. Followed by sherry and mulled wine!Sunday Stokers is our children's group (for children aged 4 to 11), who meet every third Sunday, 10.30am at The Memorial Hall. They join us in church after their activities to tell us more about what they have been doing. They have lots of fun as they learn about God. New members always welcome!
Lots of lovely stalls, Christmas refreshments, and even a visit from Father Christmas and a pirate!A lovely community event, and we are grateful for all the support from the community- those who held a stall, those who helped with the refreshments, and the organisers. It really was a lovely community event!
We celebrated The Harvest with the community over the weekend. The School came to church for a special service on Friday; On Sunday we had a Harvest Celebration service, involving Sunday Stokers and our Quartet choir; and enjoyed Harvest supper in the school with a slap up meal,followed by auction of fresh goods. All the tinned products donated have been taken to the local Food bank.A big thankyou to everyone involved in making such a nice community event- the flower arrangers, those involved in the service, the caterers, auction caller, food donators, and to all those who came to share a special time together!
