Christmas Decorations
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say how beautifully & tastefully decorated our Church was over the Christmas period. A great deal of thought, time & hard work was obviously put in and our sincere thanks are due to those responsible for making our premises so colourful, welcoming and attractive.
