Friday 13
December was the evening of our annual Christmas Fayre,
with plenty to entertain adults and children alike. Hot
and cold food and drink, games and gifts, tombola and
raffles were all on offer at the stalls in the side
aisles. Father Christmas took time out of his busy
schedule to make a flying visit to see the children, and
Steve the Balloon Modeller was kept busy making bespoke
balloons – then the children had great fun testing out
how high their balloons would float above the warm air
vents at the front of the nave.
Throughout the evening musical entertainment was
provided by Moulton 77 Brass Band, with a guest
appearance
by ‘Raggerty’ featuring our congregation’s own Trevor
Tuddenham. St Matthew’s Church Choir led the carol
singing towards the end of the evening, also singing a
carol from their recently released CD. A Christmas
reading, a prayer and the Blessing ended the
proceedings.
The Fayre, though one of our major fundraising events,
is primarily an opportunity for us at St Matthew’s to
welcome in, and enjoy the company of, the wider Kingsley
community, many of whom would not ordinarily come into
St Matthew’s Church, in an informal and relaxed party
atmosphere.
