To help coordinate our Christmas Eve services we are asking for an indication from families as to whether their Children would like to be involved in the Christmas Eve Nativity presentations.
In particular we would like to know of any Children keen to have an active role/speaking part, this may involve 3-4 practices prior to the night.
There will also be an opportunity for Children on the night to join in and be a part of the presentations.
Could families please indicate likely participation by following the link on the button below by Sunday 23rd November:
