We hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas – and hopefully managed to avoid eating too much. We can report that St Paul's was able to enjoy the pre-Christmas build-up and Christmas services, especially after the last few years of Covid.

The Christmas Festival went well, with the usual traditional stalls filled with Christmas goodies and Father Christmas made an appearance, plus of course the grand Christmas prize draw.

This was all made possible by people who came along to help or supported the Christmas Festival or donated to St. Paul's. Warm thanks are due to everyone who took part or came to our Christmas services. A big thank you to all. We express our gratitude to Lyn Middleton and David and Louise Lawrence who organised the Festival and Christmas prize draw, and all who helped in any way. Altogether the event raised over £2471 which all helps to support the running of St. Paul's.

So once again thank you all for your help and we wish you a Happy and Peaceful New Year.

Roy and Pauline

Church Wardens
