The efforts of our hastily assembled choir raised £229 for Christian Aid on the Saturday before Christmas.

Joan Long, our 88 year-old Father Christmas.

Jessica takes a photograph that may well be used in next year's publicity materials. Was it planned or just a happy accident.

The choir is in full voice as Maurene stands in the middle. She is not a chorister.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Maurene and I wish all of my loyal readers a very Merry Christmas. As I write this we are preparing to head out for our Christmas Eve midnight services. Photos are from the activities of the last few hectic days. Jessica was the photographer for the Central URC Service of Lessons and Carols.
