Minutes of the Natland Parish Council Meeting of the 29th of November

 The possible relocation of the post box and of the Parish Council notice board were some of the many topics discussed at the last Parish Council meeting. Click here for more.

Christingles will be outside

When we made our plans for Christmas we made them thinking we could begin to do things more like we used to but unfortunately at the current time this would not be wise.  To that end we are changing the plans for the Christingle Services on Christmas Eve.  

There will be two services on Christmas Eve - 2pm and 4pm.  These will now take place outside with the singing of a few carols and a reading of the Christmas story, followed by a Christingle in a bag to take home and make.  

Though we don't expect everyone will want to, anyone who wishes to go into church after this short gathering outside, either on their own or with family/friends, to pray or sit a while, can do so.  Music will be playing.

Rev. Angela.
