Carol Service Wednesday 20th December 6.30pm

On Wednesday 20th December at 6.30 pm it is the village Carol Service in St Giles's.

Would any parents be interested in putting on a Nativity Play with their children to tell the Christmas story, lasting around 10 minutes. Stephen, the vicar, is happy to include one in the service. 

Depending on the age of the children, parents could help their children into place if that would help. 

It would be great to have a mix of ages, may be some of the older children in the village might like to narrate the story.

We might need the following parts...

Mary

Joseph

Angel (1 or more)

Innkeeper (1 or more)

2 or more shepherds

3 (max!) kings

If you and your children are interested please let Sara know asap, thanks.
