At the 3pm Crib Service I was sitting with my family, including our latest addition, 6 month old Olivia ( great-granddaughter). I realized it was the start of Christmas 2010 for me.

Children certainly help us to appreciate the real meaning of this special occasion, and there was no shortage of them that afternoon. Most of them (I think) joined in with the re-enaction of the birth of baby Jesus. The tree and decorations certainly helped to bring the service to life.

This year our beautiful church was filled to capacity-a wonderful tribute to our clergy , along with their helpers.
