DUE to the spike in Covid cases, particularly at the primary school, the Christingle service at St Marys parish church, Hemyock, due to be held on December 4 and which normally sees the church full, has been cancelled.

In order to help as many as possible to take part in the celebration, individual Christingle bags will be available to allow people to enjoy them at home, including those who need to self-isolate or who are especially vulnerable..

Christingle bags - which will be available from St Mary’s church porch, Hemyock, from noon on Saturday until Wednesday (December 4 - 8)  For those unable to collect,they can be delivered within Hemyock and the immediate local area – email Helen Williams: [email protected] / phone 07739 463873, to request a bag, and state how many Christingles are needed and where to deliver to. 

The Christingle bags are free, although the church would love it if those who are able could make a donation to the Children’s Society, to help them support some of the most vulnerable children and young people.  Details of how to donate will be included in the bag
