Christmas Shopping Event 7 & 8 Nov
CANCELLED
Please note that, unfortunately, as a result of the new Covid-19 lockdown announced on 31 October, we have had to cancel the planned Christmas Shopping Event Sat 7 and Sun 8 Nov 2-4pm
Would you like to make an Angel or two for the Abbey’s “Heavenly Host” Project which will run from Advent to Epiphany? Angels will be placed around the village from December 4th onwards, for people to discover.
Please take a pattern (knitting, crochet, or simple yarn winding for non-crafters) from near the Bishops’ Table at the rear of the nave. There are yarn kits if you need one to start off with, but do feel free to use any colours or design, as long as the total height is no more than 4 inches. Please include a loop or tie so that the Angel may be put somewhere safely, ready to be found …
The Heavenly Host Angels need to be at the Abbey by 10.15am for the 10.30am Advent Sunday Service, on 3 December; they may also be left in the “Heavenly Host” box in advance.
If you are not a crafter, do look out for the “Heavenly Host” around the village from 4 December onwards.
