A Very Enjoyable Christmas Nativity

This year  the church enjoyed a great Christmas Nativity. Following a suggestion from a very clever parishioner we adopted a no-stress approach which worked very well. All children were invited to attend the service, dressed for whatever role they felt like. There were no lines to learn and no rehearsals. The service was carried by our two narrator puppets - "Cedric the Camel" and "the Desert Narrator" who worked from a witty and interactive script.  The participants were fed lines and stage directions as the need arose, and by the end there was a wonderful sense amongst the congregation of having collectively ensured the safe delivery of the baby Jesus into our world. A special thanks should go to our pupeteers, and those who provided their voices, the angel Gabriel, and also the three shepherds who were press-ganged from the congregation mid-service!

A great time was had by all, with much chatting and fun on the bus there and back. Well done to Canon Brew, Randal for the music, the choir and everyone else who got up very early on Sunday morning to make it happen.
You have visited our website – why not come and join us one Sunday? You will be assured of a warm welcome as you come to share in our worship and also over a cup of coffee after our main morning service.

​We look forward to seeing you.
