A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS - With the
Return to Larklands for a nativity service, A Lad in a Manger Panto and a
First Christingle at Notts Road..
A Very Special Christmas
On Wednesday 26th November a Christingle Service was held in
response to a request by the Rainbow leaders. Now it has to be said that a
few people were not entirely confident that many people would turn up on a
Midweek day at 6.OOpm’ How surprising’ The schoolroom was so packed
out we had people standing outside Rev June Mallabon used tight’ an
Dark’ and candles to great effect Very significant, is the variety of
people who came and that they came on a Midweek night maybe a lesson for
us there. If the people won’t come to you — You go to the people’
Another Wednesday took Rev June to the
Parent and Toddler Christmas Special — which included a short pram
service and the tots Chrisimas party and again well attended and received!
'A Lad In A Manger'
- Return of the Panto
Saturday 13th December was a fun filled,
Nativity pantomime, A Lad in a Manger. A packed out house with a lively
audience and a panto with a message,,, what a witness! Panto has an
amazing way of drawing people together so much so that people wouldn’t
leave. I have a sneaking suspicion that we have not seen the last of Pantomime!
Nativity 2003 - The Return to Larklands
Sunday 2lst December brought our Carol
Service outside the stable with the Donkey’ /pony at the Concorde Inn.
Larklands. Despite a bitterly cold night, large numbers of
people turned up to sing a variety of lively carols and watch a Nativity
build up as
the Christmas story was read. The landlord and his wife support us so
much, and have given
Nottingham
Road
Church
a great opportunity to witness to what God did for us by sending Jesus.
