This is just a great big thank you to everyone who helped organise and who took part in the Christmas Carols at the church this afternoon and for everyone who’s taken the time to decorate their traffic cone to take part in Let there be light in High Wych! Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus were in attendance, the shepherds, wise men and angels too. The mice made a return visit from the fields to join us and we even had Father Christmas make a surprise drop in ahead of the big day.Mince pies, mulled wine and chocolates were enjoyed by all, our community is truly amazing!Looking forward to seeing you all at the rest of our Benefice events over this advent time!
This year instead of giving cards (or in addition!) the congregation are signing ourCommunity Christmas Card and making a donation which we will send to the Bishops Stortford Holy Trinity Night Shelter ❤️
