The Real Christmas
St Mary's Church
8 December 2007
On Saturday 8th December
2-5pm we celebrated again the ‘Real Christmas’. Our Christmas tree was
decorated. The Christingle oranges were assembled and there were some Christmas
activities for the younger visitors, seasonal refreshments for everybody, a small
number of charity stalls were selling Christmas Goodies, and there was live festive
music during the afternoon, including recorders, handbells and carols sung by our
Choir. Father Michael sent us all off with some thoughts on the real meaning behind
the celebrations. All our village churches were represented once more.
