Carol singing
Please come and join us for our annual charity carol singing around the village. We've been a bit thin on the ground in recent years so we would really appreciate a few more voices. It doesn't matter if you think you can't sing, you'd still be very welcome. Please meet outside the Institute on Thursday 19th December at 6:30 pm with warm clothes and a torch. Carol sheets will be provided and mulled wine and mince pies to follow.
The proceeds from the singing will go to Centrepoint which provides safe spaces, support and opportunities for young homeless people. Hope to see you on the 19th.Olwyn Chorley

Mission Room
A Carol Service will be held in the Mission Room on Sunday 22nd December at 3 pm. All welcome.
