Trip to Oberammergau 2020

I am organising a trip to Germany to see the Passion of Christ which, only happens every 10 years. Professional actors portray the Life of Christ and bring it to life as you watch his story unfold, done throughout various part of the village indoors and out. This has taken place for over 500 years in this little German village, so if you are interested please do send me an email. It will not be binding, I am simply trying to see if there is enough interest to form a larger group from our area. kimberleykford@aim.com
or 259 2238.

Advance notice for our Advent Carol Service at St Cuthbert's on the 25th Nov at 6:30 pm.
