Our Carol Service on December 14th and the Christmas Eve Crib Service
were both well attended by all ages. The Carol Service was led by Rev.
Jonnie Parkin who had worked with Nocton Community Primary School. The children read and
sang beautifully and everyone appreciated their hard work and
commitment. Jonnie's theme was taken from our first carol " Oh come oh
come Emmanuel."
Our Crib Service was led by Rev. Les Whitfield and again the children
took the main roles, bringing the Nativity figures to the crib to be
blessed. We all enjoyed singing some of our favourite carols and
listening to the Christmas readings.
After the service we enjoyed some festive mince pies and a drink.
Rev. Whitfield also officiated at our Midnight Mass as we welcomed Christmas Day, and later on Christmas Day a service was held for the residents of the Cottage Residential Care Home.
In all
the hurly burly of Christmas preparation, the services provided a
welcome calm few moments to think and pray. It was good to see so many at the different services.
