Events in 2015
Carols by Candlelight
Sunday 20 December
Three
services were held this year, as the parish had reviewed safety and
agreed that it was not safe to have people standing in the narrow aisle
when everyone was holding candles. Everyone was able to sit down
and enjoy the services in safety and comfort, with 79 people at the
3.00 pm service, 85 at 4.30 pm and 50 at 6.00 pm. There is

services

Carols by Candlelight
