A damp
night didn’t deter the many local families who came out
and enjoyed our annual Christmas community event. There
was plenty to entertain adults and children alike in a
relaxed and informal party atmosphere. 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 ‘Mr Bubbles’ the balloon modeller
was kept busy making bespoke balloons, with many of the
children having great fun seeing how high their balloons
would float above the warm air vents at the front of the
nave.
Throughout
the evening seasonal music was provided by Moulton 77
Brass Band, and St Matthew’s Church Choir, wearing a
variety of Christmas jumpers, sang Christmas carols and
led the community carol singing towards the end of the
evening. A Christmas reading, a prayer and the Blessing
ended the proceedings.
Although one of our major fundraising events, the Fayre
is also 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; this event enables them an
opportunity to make that first step through our door.

donation via PAYA MyGivingHub.
