Christmas holds that special gathering when many families and friends come together in love and fellowship. It is often this time we are reminded of our loved ones who are no-longer with us and dearly missed. In this sadness there is an opportunity to come and light a candle, reflect, and be in the company of others struggling at this time. To be reminded that through God's unfailing love for us, and His deep compassion, there is always hope and comfort

This year the church and school are coming together to include both of those wonderful traditions of carols and the Nativity into one place under the wandering star - an opportunity for the whole community to come together in joyful wonder and song
