Join the Friends of St Mary’s at their Candlelight Carol Service
Once again the Friends of St Mary’s Old Church are holding a Candlelight Carol Service in the Old Church. The Friends look forward to welcoming you back on Sunday 15th December at 2:30 pm.
The service is free and open to all and there’s now dedicated car parking opposite the church. One of St Mary’s ministers will lead the service.
The Friends are also looking for someone to pump the church organ during the service, so if anyone is interested please contact Nicole Long on 01206 240443.
Dress for the weather!
You are reminded that there is no heating, so dress warm, a cushion will also make the service more comfortable. All are welcome.
Mulled Wine & Abbey Road Update
Many attended the Mulled Wine event last month to enjoy the wine and mince pies & music from Octavia. The Friends were grateful for the many members coming along to renew & the many other donations. McMillan Cancer Support also did remarkably well with their Craft Stall!
The Abbey Road Dance Band on the Saturday was also a huge success. Ninety people attended, despite the dreadful weather, and there was a lot of dancing! It was great fun and enjoyed by everyone.
