CHRISTMAS TREES

If you are going to watch the KS2 performance in church, or attending one of the special Christmas services listed below, please take a moment to look at the Christmas Trees done by Rainbows, Brownies and Guides. All the girls were fantastic and worked really hard, and all the trees are amazing! My thanks to their leaders for all their help.
