Welcome to a page with all the info about what’s coming this CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR!
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:2
CAROLS ON THE GREEN
Saturday 9th December, 6pm
Carols on the Green is an outdoor carol service for the community.
We are pleased to have Blandford's Stour Valley Band and the Scout group helping us with the festivities again. We’ll be singing some familiar Christmas carols, listening to the Christmas story narrated through the Bible, a children's nativity scene, hot dogs, mulled wine and mince pies!
We will have some costumes available for children to dress up in for the nativity scene, but please do encourage them to come in their own outfits if they have one at home.
Carols on the Green is held on the large grassy area in the middle of the housing estate near Lidl (see map).
Make sure you wrap up warm!

CHRISTMAS DAY CELEBRATION!

We want to invite you to take a moment away from chopping veg or unwrapping presents to celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We want to thank God for sending His Son to rescue us.
