THE EPIPHANY CAROL SERVICE

The Epiphany Carol Service will be on Sunday, January 6th. As part of our celebrations of this great – though often slightly neglected - feast, we shall have a parish Carol Service at 6.00pm with carols (and lots of well-known carols are in fact Epiphany carols), poems, and readings. All welcome! Refreshments afterwards.
