Well, I asked for volunteers, and this evening I was absolutely delighted to see lots of smiling new faces! Handel's "And the glory" is going to be great.

(Someone tells me that the local newspaper has picked it up wrong and is saying we're singing the whole Messiah. No, we aren't - so there will be plenty of time for you to finish wrapping your gifts after our evening carol service!

As well as the augmented choir, and the other choir contributions, and the congregational carolling, and the kids singing, there will be bible readings and a couple of seasonal poems. Don't miss it!
