CAROLS FOR THE FAMILY
Tickets for the two informal services on Christmas Eve at St Giles' will be
available at the Family Service (9.45
a.m.) on Sunday 1 December. If any remain they will be
available from me on 622970. The services will be held, as usual, at 3 p.m. and 4 30 p.m. and we look
forward to seeing the Church full on both occasions. The story of the
birth of Jesus as the Saviour of the world will be re-told and we shall build
our scene at the crib with the help of some of the children. If you are
unable to come to any of our other services over the Christmas period, please
try and make one of these a priority and put Jesus at the centre of your
Christmas celebration.
