Christmas is on its way!

We started heading towards Christmas a couple of weeks ago - with two well attended Advent services (Stickland and Clenston) to prepare the way. This week we have had the start of Milton Abbas' Christmas tree festival - the family carol service had a very enjoyable version of the Twelve days of Christmas performed by the Drama group ( Look out for a giraffe if you are visiting!).

Whitechurch had a very festive carol service with the Scouts and Cubs performing 'Away in a Manger' with real confidence. The church looked wonderful by candlelight and scented with the beautiful flowers from Chris and Sarah-Jayne's wedding the day before.

On Monday morning Dunbury Academy, (Whitechurch base) squeezed into St Mary's Stickland, to sing carols to all the Coffee Potters and give a Christmas card to all who were there.

There is still lots more to enjoy in the benefice before we reach the big day - do check out all that is happening. There's nothing better than celebrating with others and raising the church roofs with our voices!
