"The Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin will be with child and give birth to a son and call him Emmanuel."
Isaiah 7:14
Members of our School and Parish Communities gathered together in St Thomas More Church to share carols, readings and prayers.
The School Choir and Key Stage 2 Pupils led us in singing both modern and traditional Carols, beginning with 'Jesus Let your Kingdom come here', followed by a candlelit procession during the singing of 'Silent Night'. Our pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 shared the readings and prayers whilst our pupils in Year 3 presented the Story of Christmas through drama. Father John gave us a special blessing at the end of the service.
It was a beautiful evening which helped everybody to prepare for and share in the joy of the birth of Jesus at Christmas.
