On monday evening we had an enjoyable carol concert kindly sponsored by Nationwide Building Society. The programme included some short organ pieces, carols and readings sung by both choir and congregation and the evening was topped off by a feast of canapes and festive drinks in the church. The event raised funds for the development and renewal of Christ Church – we are planning to start building our new Community Centre in Spring.

One of the readings was a poem by Godfrey Rust entitled Herod’s Last Request and a number of people asked if they could hear it again. You can also read the poem here.
