Candle-lit Carols at St Mary’s today cancelled

A Message from our Rector, Christoph Lindner:

When we were planning our Advent and Christmas services we decided to put a lot of energy into our online offering as services in our church building might not be possible by the time Christmas arrives. While tier-4 rules do allow church services, it became clear very quickly yesterday that we would not have the required team to do a candle-lit carol justice. Sadly, we are therefore cancelling our candle-lit carol service at St Mary’s.
However:
Our online community carol service today at 4pm will be fantastic! So many contributions from around our community and from some special guests, and we filmed it all in a candle-lit St Mary’s church over the course of the last week –  the opening sequence will take us into our beautiful church – virtually.
Christmas is not cancelled, although it will look different.
