PETERCULTER PARISH CHURCH

OUR Christmas Fayre will take place this year on Saturday 6 December from 2pm - 4pm . There will be a wide range of stalls, with teas and coffee and home baking being served throughout. If you would like to donate anything to this or buy tickets in advance, please phone the Church Office.

On Monday 8 December at 7.30pm we look forward to welcoming again the Sweet Adelines who will be performing their Christmas Concert and Pantomime in the church. This was superb last year and full details about tickets are available from Val Muir.

We will be having an outdoor village Carol Service on Monday 15 December at 7pm in the church car park, weather permitting. This is intended for the whole village and hopefully many of you will come along and enjoy some traditional carols, followed by tea and mince pies in the hall.
