St Alban’s choir woke up from their sleep-over in the church to the sight of this year’s giant Christmas tree being raised, and subsequently contributed to the decoration.  If you are in the church on Sunday, or come in for a concert or carol service, be sure to take a look.

The Christmas services have now been added to the calendar.

Thank you to everyone who turned up to Simply Sing on Sunday 18th October, it was a fantastic event.  The concert raised £400 for Children’s Hospice South West, the choir raised £241.91 towards their trip to Holland, and the Guides cake store raised almost £30.

The events we put on for the young have exploded!  To help you organise your life, Emma has given us a complete list:
