Christmas Tree Festival. 16th-21st December 2024.
I know we have just got through Easter, and you are all probably planning your Summer Holiday, and you may think it’s a bit early to be talking about Christmas Trees… but plans need to be made if this is going to be a fantastic event. Things to think:
· Would you like to have a tree to decorate? Could be as a family, as a business, as a community group (none political)?
· Would you like to adopt a tree that will be decorated using the decorations we have. You would decorate the tree and cover the cost of the tree?
· Would you like to sponsor a tree, covering the cost of the tree but asking the church decorate it?
At this point I have no idea how much a tree will cost but, for an idea, the last time we bought 4ft trees they were £30 each. That covered the cost of delivery, the tree, and a little donation towards the Church funds.
