On Saturday 14th December 4-6pm, we are having 'Mulled Wine and Carols by Candlelight' in West Deeping Church. We would like to encourage people to bring along a table decoration with a candle to light up the church. Everyone is invited to come and admire and vote for their favourite decoration whilst enjoying homemade mince pies, cookies and mulled wine including a non-alcoholic option. There will be a prize for the favourite decoration including one for children. The candles will then be lit as a backdrop for the West Deeping Handbell Ringers who will be performing followed by informal carol singing. It would be lovely if you could support this festive event. Donations gratefully received (there will be a card reader for electronic donations) shared between Sue Ryder (Thorpe Hall Hospice) and the church maintenance fund. Suggested donation £5 per person.

On Sunday 15th December starting at 11am, there will be an 'All-Age Nativity' family service in the church. Our bell ringers will be ringing from 10:30am to remind you to please come along to sing your favourite carols and see our nativity drama. We will be serving light refreshments after the service and the heating will be on!!

On Tuesday 24th December you are very welcome to come along to the 'Midnight in Bethlehem' Christmas Holy Communion service STARTING AT 9PM (midnight in Bethlehem!). Father Aran will be leading with carols accompanied by the Andy McCormack players. What better way to start Christmas. We look forward to seeing you.

Our next service will be in the New Year ... morning prayers on Sunday 12th January starting at 11am.
