It really was full house, once again, at the Carols Service last Sunday evening. Besides the carols and readings, there was a larger-than-usual band of musicians, a super quartet and a delightful singing group of Chinese friends. Reckon that 180-200 folk were there to be part of it all.
We’re now gearing up for the all-age ‘Carols-round-the-Crib‘ on Sat 24th at 3.30pm, which we know lots of folk enjoy as a brilliant way to pause and catch breath on Christmas Eve. The day is rounded off with a quiet service of Holy Communion at 11.30pm, which will be led for us this year by Rev Alec Callaby (while the minister is at Horsford. Thanks, Alec).
Then it’ll be wrapping paper everywhere… and a chance to sing the Lord’s praises again on Christmas Day at the special 10.30am All-age Service. Most youngsters will have unwrapped all their pressies long before then, and it’ll be great to see you at 10.30am – together with your favourite gift.
Yep, as disclosed at the Carol Service, the minister’s family Christmas was on Sat 10th, when it was full house at the manse… and, for any who may be wondering, it is a bird-feeder and nuts!
Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
