O COME all ye faithful: To the ever-popular family ding-along-sing-along-come-along Carols in the Barn at Thackham’s Farm at 7pm tomorrow! Led by our own Rev Peter Hewlett-Smith and ably supported by many parish elves busy ladling out mulled wine and hot mince pies, this kick-start to the benefice Christmas celebrations is not to be missed.

Children welcome and the more Christmas headgear and jumpers the better, but do remember this is effectively an outside event, so please come prepared with warm clothes and boots!

Many thanks to Christine and Keith White for opening their barn to us once more.

SOMETHING for everyone this holiday season in and around Rotherwick church, starting at 6.30pm this Sunday, with a candle-lit Service of Nine Lessons and Carols. There is a special crib service at 4pm on Christmas Eve in St Michael’s, Heckfield, with children encouraged to dress up as nativity characters.

Christmas Day, Rotherwick church will host the “Christmas Present Service” at 10.30am, where everybody can show off a favourite present!
