Springfield Christmas Experience

4 pm Sunday 22nd December
Were really excited that our Christmas Experience is next week! We wanted to create something fresh to help people to really begin to engage with the story of Jesus. Using a Gospel choir, singing some of the great carols and experiencing the Christmas story in a fresh way will make this a really memorable time. Do invite your friends, family and neighbours to join in and then finish the whole experience off with a fun Festive Tea ~~~~~~~~~~ If you are providing cake, sandwiches etc, please cut them up beforehand and remember to name all plates and containers
