CHRISTMAS EVE CRIB SERVICE

for 1 hour
Brent Eleigh, St Mary
Hall Road Brent Eleigh Sudbury, CO10 9NP, United Kingdom
This is when the magic happens. At 3pm on Christmas Eve at Brent Eleigh Church (a fabulous place to have a crib service as the children can be held very safely in the Church stalls) St Mary's Church is a very special Church as it can lend to a feeling of being very much in a stable with the tall stalls.
The story of the birth of Jesus is told by means of a several hand made woollen figures. The vicar invites children to take a figure in turn and place it in the crib at the appropriate part of the story. There will be a crib already prepared to accommodate each figure.
This is a very popular service especially for children and there will be suitable refreshments afterwards.
Parking is available outside the Church.
