Christmas Eve Crib Service

Our crib service on Christmas Eve was a very special service.  The children participated in the nativity story by bringing up the nativity characters to place them in the stable.  We all held a lit candle to reinforce that Jesus is the Light of the world.  The candlelit church looked beautiful, especially so when the lights were turned off and we all sang" While shepherds watched their flocks by night".  We enjoyed a mince pie before we went home with our families, a welcome pause to stop and think, amongst all the bustle of Christmas.

Banovallum Singers concert

The concert of Christmas Music given by the Banovallum Singers in All Saints Church on 13 December was a very enjoyable event.  The church looked gorgeous with fresh greenery and candle light, and the singers liked the excellent acoustic and the warm response of the audience.  Everyone tucked into the seasonal refreshments and wine or juice at the interval.   Including the raffle and the sale of generous bunches of fresh holly donated by Linda Coxon, the event raised £287 for repairs to the church.

Carol singing

If you heard strange noises on Monday evening (16 December) it was probably the carol singers...  We started at The Cottage Residential Care Home where we sang carols with the residents, then roamed around Nocton Park before finishing at the Village Hall where the Parish Council kindly refreshed us with mulled wine and mince pies.  Thanks to all who kindly donated money - we raised the splendid sum of £76.53 which will be divided between All Saints and BeAttitude (working with homeless and vulnerable people in Lincoln).

Crib service - reminder!

Carol singing 16 December

We will once again be inflicting ourselves on the unsuspecting residents of Nocton...  should you wish to join the merry band, we will meet at the Care Home on Monday evening 16 December at 6.30 pm  before moving around the village.  We will finish at around 8.30 pm at the Village Hall for mince pies and mulled wine!

Carol service

On Sunday December 8th All Saints Nocton held a family carol service.  The candle lit church was decked out in holly and over seventy people filled the church.  Everyone appreciated the child friendly readings and carols.  Our village school had a special part to play, contributing to the readings and singing some of their Christmas songs.  Such lovely clear voices ringing out in our beautiful church.  Finally, we all enjoyed mince pies and a drink.  Amongst all the busy preparations for Christmas it was a welcome few moments for us to pause and remember the true meaning of Christmas.
