Merry Christmas to Kingsteignton

It is difficult to make time for Christmas being a Councillor. Thanks to my friends I have managed two Christmas Bazaars, The Mayor's Christmas Carol Service and a Carol Service for the Children's Society in St Michaels Church Hall.

The Mayor enthused at his idea for his charity. He will set up a Trust for young people to extend their knowledge through travel. The criteria needed would have to be an educational project which would be beyond the reach of parents to pay for.

The Children's Society Service was interesting. We sat at tables of six to meet new people. The nativity was acted out starting with Mary and Joseph calling at the door of the Inn, waking a sleeping Inn Keeper. Accompanied by the organist at a keyboard the Choir sang carols with us all joining in. We were then treated to coffee and mince pies.

Pick up a list of Carol Services throughout Christmas from the Library printed for the Combined Churches of Kingsteignton.
