Parishioners at St Wilfrid’s have decided not to send each other Christmas cards this year but instead will donate the money to a local charity, “Warming Up The Homeless”. There will be a collection of these donations on Sunday 15th December toward their Golden Ticket Christmas Appeal, which asks for      donations of £10 to take a child living in temporary accommodation to a pantomime and to give them some festive treats. 
 

Carol Service at St Wilfrid’s will take place at 3pm on 15th December followed my mince pies and mulled wine in the hall.

Following last years successful “Choose a Bag” £1 Children, £2 Adults, after our Carol Service on Saturday 14th December at 3pm, we shall have mulled wine, tea, coffee and refreshments in our hall plus our popular “Choose a Bag”.  For this we shall need lots of bags please, either empty or filled.  There will be a box in the church porch to receive these please.  Thank you in advance.
