Christmas Fayre

The heavy rain on Friday 14 December affected the numbers of folk who turned out for our annual Christmas Fayre, but those who did found plenty to entertain them, adults and children alike.

Hot food and drink, games and gifts, tombola, raffle and a cake auction 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 Steve the Balloon Modeller was kept busy making bespoke balloons – then the children had great fun testing out how high their balloons would float above the warm air vents at the front of the nave.
 

Throughout the evening musical entertainment was provided by Moulton 77 Brass Band with
St Matthew’s Church Choir leading the carol singing. The evening ended with a Christmas reading, a prayer and blessing, and the happy faces leaving showed that they were glad they’d turned out.

The Fayre, whilst being one of our major fundraising events, is primarily 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 to St Matthew’s, in an informal and relaxed party atmosphere.
