THE annual Christmas fair at the United Reformed Church, in London Street, Basingstoke, takes place on Saturday, November 15, from 9.30am to 2.30pm.

There will be lots of stalls, books, cakes, toys, white elephant and more.

The funds raised will go into the fund for distribution to various charities.

ON SATURDAY, there will be a fundraising beetle drive at Old Basing Methodist Church at 7.30pm.

There will be no entrance charge, however, donations will be welcome.

AT OAKLEY Methodist Church there will be a Christmas bring-and-buy sale in aid of Naomi House, from 10am to noon, on Saturday, November 8.

AT THE Church of Christ The King, in Brighton Hill, Basingstoke, there will be a service of prayer and reflection for All Saints season this Sunday, at 9.30am.

The service will include a time of quiet reflection to give thanks for the memory of those who have died.

And on November 9, at 9.30am, there will be a Remembrance Day parade service with the uniformed groups, families and friends.

ONCE again, it is hoped to give you Christmas service times at as many of our churches as possible.
