Families and friends came together to fill the church with song, light and sparkle at the annual Christmas Tree Decorating event and Christingle.

The decorating event on 6 December saw children immerse themselves in the message of Jesus through craft – nativity sticker scenes, light jars, gem stars and angels. All superbly organised and plenty for nearly 100 children (plus parents, grandparents and carers).

This was closely followed by the Christingle service on 9 December, which saw the church bustling with families as together Tim and Lucy shared the good news of Jesus coming to Earth to be the light of the world.

The next family Christmas service is the Nativity on Christmas Eve... where children can come dressed up as a nativity character and learn more about the real meaning of Christmas. Showings are 2.30pm and 4pm.
