Carols around the Christmas tree in Gifford

29/11/2018

A community group is again organising Carols around the Christmas tree, in front of Yester Church, which we are very happy to support, all in aid of 'Versus Arthritis'. They will take place on Sunday, 16 December, at 6.30pm, with the help of the Benston Brass Band. Mulled juice and wine will also be on offer. And who knows, Santa might find his way to Gifford once again....

The lights on the tree will be switched on on Friday, 7 December, at 6pm.

Would you like to be in our Nativity?

6/11/2018

Our stable is still empty - can you help to fill it?

We're inviting local children of all ages to participate in our Nativity service on 23 December, followed by a children's Christmas party in the Session Rooms (across the road from the church).

If your child(ren) would like to take part, please contact us by 26 November, and tell us what your preferred part would be.

We'll of course have Mary and Joseph, angels, shepherds and wise men and women, and also a star, an innkeeper, Herod the king, scribes and priests, a donkey and sheep and maybe even a stable mouse or two. There'll be speaking and non-speaking parts, and even the smallest ones are welcome to join in.
