ADVENT CAROL SERVICE – DUDDINGTON SUNDAY 2ND DECEMBER
The church at Duddington started in total darkness and then a trumpet fanfare
and the theme music from ‘Godspell’ ….
‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord’
A spot light from the back created shadows as about 10 children danced up the aisle.
The darkness returned as a soloist sang and The Benefice choir processed up to the front,
lighting the congregation’s candles as they went.
Advent carols and prayers continued by candlelight,
concluding with a South African song (complete with tambourines and maracas) to welcome the light!
Afterwards we were entertained with mulled wine and mince pies.
Morcott event: ‘Cameos of Christmas’ in prose and poetry
A special entertainment in Morcott gets the festive season off to the perfect start!
“Cameos of Christmas” is a celebration of the season in poetry and prose, with readings to move you and make you laugh, ranging from Charles Dickens to Laurie Lee via John Betjeman and Alan Coren. There will be mulled wine, mince pies and favourite Carols to sing.
When? Sunday 9 December 2018, starting at 4.30pm (and finishing around 6pm)
Where? St Mary the Virgin Church Morcott
