Christmas Eve Nativity Service at St John The Baptist

Traditional Nativity Service on Christmas Eve at 3.30 at St John the Baptist, Cherington

A message from Sarah Scotter:

‘Our traditional Nativity Service is a lovely occasion when we all come together, both young and not so young, as the children of our villages dress up and perform a simple nativity play. The service lasts about 30 minutes.

Every child is welcome to join in, either for the performance or simply to dress up and sit with their parents – the more angels, shepherd and sheep the better!

Ben will be leading the service and Ellie and Millie Blake will be helping the children during the dress rehearsal at 3.00 and the performance.

Anyone wishing to come along please do.

There will be costumes to spare so we can dress any last minute performers.’

If you have any queries please call Sarah on 07894 892431.
