Looking Back December was a joyous month as we had four opportunities to celebrate the birth of Christ at St Paul’s. A big thank to all who helped to make the services so special, the poetry, our readers young and old, the Amethyst Singers, Egremont Youth Band, the candlelit Midnight service, those who provided mulled wine and mince pies and of course the children who took part in the nativity. Even when the church was empty, visitors were im- pressed by Sally’s wonderful large crib scene and the beautifully decorated tree.
