We wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. We hope and pray that covid will not spoil the year and that vaccinations as well as prayer will help us overcome the virus. We pray for all those who are sick, in hospital or awaiting treat-ment or operations and for those who do the caring. Let’s hope school children and students get off to a good start this year.
The Carlby Winter Fair, Carol Service, Christmas Day service and Nativity Trail were great ways to celebrate Christmas; what a wonderful stable Hugh and Jam club created on the green. Thank you to everyone who helped to make them a success.
We thank everyone who has helped in all the activities in St.Stephen’s Church last year, I know many have enjoyed the involvement and realised skills they didn’t know they had. We are a small community and are always grateful when new people volunteer or just come and support ,please keep on doing so this year.
