THE story of Christmas and the singing of carols by candlelight will be hosted at the Baptist Church this Sunday, December 22.

The splendid Victorian building in Broad Street will be filled with candles and beautiful decorations while the story of Christmas will unfold through readings, costumed monologues and traditional carols.

Following the service, which begins at 3.30pm, there will be mince pies, cakes and mulled punch available for all. Entry and refreshments are free.

This is a wonderful event for the whole family. It doesn't get more Christmassy than this.

Last week the church had a unique re-telling of the Nativity story performed by a cast who sang new songs to accompany the music inspired by Take That.
