Full sized sheep are not normally found in a church but at All Saints’, Church Lawton recent sitings have suggested otherwise. Currently visible in the organ loft of the church are lots of colourful shapes which at a distance look like full sized animals. Closer up it is apparent that they are made of 4 inch knitted squares and we can reveal that on October 18th the reason for this unusual discovery will be revealed.

In the last two weeks of October, an inspiring community project will finally be assembled and on view at All Saints’ Parish Church, Church Lawton. After nine months of knitting, the congregation and local community have created an amazing life size tableau of the Nativity Story which will be on display for all to see.

Even the knitters, have little idea how the knitted squares have been put together.

In addition to this huge colourful tableau visitors to All Saints’ Church will find refreshments baked by congregation members, and there will be craft activities for all ages. Come and try the nativity jigsaw or share in colouring in a nativity mural and meet members of the local community who have participated in this extraordinary project. They hope their efforts will bring the Nativity story to life and that these life size sized characters and animals might fuel out our imaginations before the Christmas Season starts.

Entrance and Activities are free and the activities are suitable for all ages.

Church Lawton is a small rural parish in Chester Diocese situated between Alsager and Kidsgrove.
