Christingle Service (7.30pm)
This will be the last meeting of the Brownies and Guides who meet regularly on a Thursday Evening in the Church Hall – everyone is welcome to join us.

Carols on the Green (7.00pm)
A small choir will be singing traditional carols and other music suitable to the festive season on the green on the corner of Granville Road/Stapleton Hall Road – come and listen or join in! The more, the merrier; and we hope to retire inside afterwards for a glass of something warm.
