` JANUARY 2020 37 Christ Church, Parracombe Christmas Tree Festival A Christmas Tree Festival was held in Christ Church, Parracombe over three days during the second weekend of December. Trees were sponsored and decorated, some by individuals and families, but also by some local businesses and groups. There were also produce stalls from local suppliers selling Christmas gifts and handmade cards, honey and plants. Combined proceeds from sponsorship of the trees and donations from the stalls raised a total of just over £670. Although the weather probably reduced the numbers visiting, for those there it was an enjoyable weekend. Nine Lessons and Carols Christ Church welcomed a very large congregation who had defied the weather to attend the annual service of Nine Lessons and Carols. Late comers had difficulty finding a seat and for some it was standing room only. Singing was supported by the Christmas Choir who opened the service in the traditional way with the first verse of Once in Royal David's City and later sang three solo pieces including a lively version of Mary's Boy Child - think Boney M! - Thank you to all members of the choir and their director/conductor Bish Muir for their support and many hours rehearsal. Many of the readings were given by pupils of West Exmoor Federation, thank you to the children and their headteacher, Jane Peacock. Refreshments were served by members of the PCC and friends, for which thanks. Service was conducted by Rev Samantha and the organist was Roger Martin. Proceeds from the collection were shared with Clarity North Devon, a charity supporting young people with mental health problems, and Children's Hospice South West. Christ Church welcomed the Exmoor Carolers for an evening of music and song. At the start of the evening we were told that John Wesley would encourage his congregations to "sing lustily" and we should do the same. Indeed, there was enthusiastic encouragement of audience participation by their leader and musical director, Rupert Kirby. Each item was introduced by one of the Carolers who explained the origin of the carol and how the Carolers came to add it to their programme. At the end of the evening, Reverend Samantha thanked the group and said that such events were an important part of the Christmas programme and the fund raising helped with maintenance costs of small village churches. Proceeds from the sale of cd’s and the raffle were donated to the Carolers' chosen charities, this year Over and Above Hospital Charity, See Hear Centre and @www.ageconcernbarnstaple.org.uk. The evening proceeds of the raffle were £142. Thank you to the Carolers, all those who attended and supported, and members of the PCC for organising the refreshments.
