The church looked especially beautiful as it was lovingly decorated in readiness for the Christmas Service, setting the scene for a truly festive village gathering. It was heart-warming to see the Poslingford community come together once again. Mark’s service was as engaging and enjoyable as ever, delighting everyone with his imaginative “chocolate version” of the Christmas story. Several members of the village took part in the readings, making the service feel all the more special and inclusive. A big thank you goes to Mel, who did a fabulous job on the keyboard, adding to the joyful atmosphere. George and Melody were on hand with warming mulled wine, delicious sausage rolls and mince pies, which were very much appreciated by all. Events like these are a wonderful reminder of the strong community spirit in Poslingford, and we look forward to many more opportunities to gather together throughout the year.
As the morning mist lifted, it revealed a beautiful, clear day for our village’s Act of Remembrance. The church bells rang out across the village, calling everyone to gather at the Memorial. Toby Snowling laid the wreath and gave a moving reading, while the service was led by our vicar, Reverend Mark Woodrow. It was a thoughtful and heartfelt occasion, bringing the community together to honour those who served and sacrificed.
