Wellhouse, Yorkshire - Feb 2025

December as was to be expected was a busy month. We started the month with the Sisters' Carol Service and Faith Tea, to which friends and two brethren were invited - it was a good afternoon of fellowship. On the 15th we held our service of Nine Lessons with Carols in which many of the congregation took part. On the 20th we met to prepare for the 120 Christingles we hoped would be sufficient for the Sunday, and then on the 22nd we held our Christingle Service - we had just short of 120 there.

The Katie Philpott School of Dance performed three short numbers and a young lady accompanied by her granddad on guitar sang a song. It was all really enjoyed and appreciated by the congregation. This last year the dance class have supported a local charity: 'The Forget Me Not Appeal' for a local children's Hospice in Huddersfield. The Church Committee at Wellhouse decided that we would donate our loose cash collection at the Christingle service to support the dance class and the charity. We collected £228 which meant the dance class sent in a total of £600 to support the charity.

On Christmas morning we met at 10.15am to celebrate once more our Saviours birth.

On the 5th January due to the weather conditions it was decided to cancel our service, to ensure we kept everyone safe.

We look forward to serving our Lord with commitment and with confidence in 2025 and meeting whatever challenged come our way, whether we are paid or un-paid workers.
