“There are several exciting events being planned which I hope you will enjoy watching and maybe even participating in. Whether Lockdown continues or not there are likely to be restrictions on numbers in Church so we are going ahead with recording services which can go ahead whatever happens. Following the recent Calling Young Disciples Hub we are also working together with Rev Andy Todd at St Stephen's to put on the following events”

*A Life Size Scarecrow Nativity Trail*

Following on from Claines Church wedding scene for the Fernhill Heath Scarecrow Trail, there are new plans - we are hoping to create a life size scarecrow nativity scene to be created outside each of the 3 churches: Claines, Saint George’s & St Stephen's Churches from Monday 21st December. Families will be invited to call by and add a sheep or lamb figure.

Would your family like to create Mary, Joseph, a shepherd, a King, a donkey or camel for Claines? We are also needing help to create a stable to shelter the Holy Family.

Do contact Rachel on 457749, or by email [email protected] or contact Rev Jo if you can help
