Just in the planning stages - another Evening of Carols & Poems with The Salvation Army Band. This was very well received last year. Carols were chosen from the Army's carol booklet, and poems, both amusing and relevant, were read to give the band members a breather from time to time. Hopefully it will be in the second week of December, but details will come out nearer to the time............. This does not replace the usual Carol Service near to Christmas - so plenty to choose from in that Festive Season............. Have you and your family found the activities box in the library near the American window & altar? Find out all about All Saints Church; draw pictures and leave them for visitors to see; use the booklet about 'Getting to Know' the Church.............. Exploring your local Church building is great to do in the Summer holidays because churches are cool in the hot weather and keep you dry if it is raining - and they are amazingly interesting... can you find the pew with blacksmith's tools carved on it? Or the mermaid that has been chopped in two? The building is unlocked from 9.00am until 4.00pm in the Summer.
