Umbrellas to the fore in pictures on the next page but there was good cheer inside and out!

Christingle Children’s Service at Sulgrave Church. Dec 4th 2016
Sunday, December 4th, 2016
The idea of a Christingle service came originally from the Moravian Church in 1747 as a symbol of Christ’s light and love. The Children’s Society introduced it to the Church of England in 1986, and it has since become a popular service for all ages. This was the twenty-seventh service in the Church of St James the Less in Sulgrave. All money collected goes to the good work of the Children’s Society with the least fortunate of today’s young people. See the next page for more photographs of the children performing their nativity play and receiving the oranges with lighted candles….

December 2016. It’s Village Advent Calendar Window time again!
Saturday, December 3rd, 2016
For the third successive year, 24 Sulgrave residents have volunteered to decorate one of their “street windows” in the manner of an advent calendar. Each window is carefully covered until the official unveiling on the chosen day, in the presence of villagers enjoying mulled wine and other Christmas fare. Thus in the run up to Christmas there is an opportunity to attend a mini street party every night in December, up to and including Christmas Eve! The first such event featured the Village Community Shop on December 1st, as shown above. More pictures of the window, the party goers and some background information on the shop on the next page.
