This year we return to our traditional service of Carols by Candlelight including the Blessing of the Crib. We invite you to:

· walk up the candle-lit Church Lane (limited parking is available)

· gather in the candle-lit church

· sing some lovely well-known carols (from a service sheet), each linked by a line of the Christmas Story

· hear the children singing around the crib.

The service will last about 60 minutes. Everyone is welcome! 

Christmas Giving in aid of Ukraine

This year’s collection will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) in aid of Ukraine, so please give generously, by cash, card or online . 

The DEC brings together 15 leading UK aid charities, raising funds to quickly and effectively respond to overseas disasters.

DEC charities have been supporting some of the 13 million people displaced by the conflict, both inside Ukraine and in neighbouring countries. They have been providing shelter, food, psychological support and cash to buy essentials such as food or medicines to people who have had to leave everything behind.
