At St Helen’s Church a team of people helped to make the Christingles for the Christmas Eve service at 4:30 pm.
At Trinity we had a rehearsal for the Torchlight Service, also at 4:30pm on Christmas Eve. This year an apprentice astronomer spots a new star in the sky that the older astronomers (wise men) cannot explain. It leads to a stable in Bethlehem and some unexpected happenings.

Happy Christmas to one and all.
Did anyone watch Alternativity on BBC2 earlier this week? A brilliant nativity play from the West Bank sponsored by Banksy and co-directed by Danny Boyle.
It is one sure way to stop Christmas becoming self-indulgent and can be caught on I-Player.
Thankyou ppjs for recommending Alternativity – REALLY wellworth catching on Iplayer.
Happy Christmas to all who read and post on this wonderful Blog – and thankyou Backstreeter for making it all possible.
