To celebrate the coming of Jesus, The Light of the World, we will be holding a light event on Sunday 5 December outside the Church. Come along between 5 – 8 pm and light a candle in memory of a loved one or in appreciation of someone who means a lot to you. You will also be able to write a name/message on a wooden disc to hang on our tree. Tea and coffee will be supplied and gifts can also be brought along at this time for distribution by the Salvation Army.
