A total of 90 Scouts, their Leaders, Parents and members of St Andrew's Church gathered in St Andrew's Church for the annual Christingle Service.

The Scouts enjoyed singing Carols with the words displayed on the Sanctuary wall at the front and a game of charades concerning the Christingle.

St Andrew's Church Christmas Bazaar took place on Saturday 26 November 2016 in the Church Hall.

On Saturday 26 November 2016 we held our Christmas Bazaar. The event went very well and more people than ever came.

The sum raised was £450.00.

Thank you to all the people who manned the stalls and served the refreshments. Thank you for donating all the things on the stalls and then for buying them back again.

The Church was full for the Family Remembrance Service held on Sunday 20 November 2016.

Most of the people in Church wanted to light a candle, others preferred to just sit quietly and remember their loved ones.

People then went downstairs where refreshments were being served.

Both churches hold Christmas Bazaars in November. Come along, bring your friends and join in the fun.
