We thoroughly enjoyed our Carol Service by Candlelight with the excellent Bulkington Silver Band. Astley Church looked beautifully festive and it was lovely to welcome 175 people to our special traditional Christmas celebration. We sang Christmas carols and listened to bible readings and we came away feeling very happy and full of friendship and festive spirit. Thank you to everyone who organised our service and to all who came along on this winter's night. Hope you will join us next year. We still look forward to our Christmas morning Holy Communion service in 2023 starting at 9am. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from all of us in Astley Church.
