Christmas Cards
Please don’t forget to bring your Christmas cards to church to be recycled. We will have a box in the back of each church for the next few weeks. Thank you
The Christmas Tree Festival
The Christmas Tree Festival was a great success. 77 trees decorated St Lawrence Church and the event raised £1183.90 to be shared between Parkinsons UK and the Covenant Training and Youth Choir. Thank you to Elaine Cook and all the wonderful helpers. And thank you for all the beautiful music from the organ and choirs that played this weekend.
£176.20 for the Children’s Society!
What a lovely Christingle Service we had. The Church looked glorious lit up by candles and christmas tree lights. The children loved the songs and of course the sweets. And we raised a fabulous £176.20 for the Children’s Society. Thank you everyone and thank you to the team who made the Christingles and helped at the Service.
