Maidstone’s Waterside Nativity

The WOW (Walk on Water) group from Maidstone Salvation Army have been meeting since May. They get together by the lake in Mote Park and use paddleboards, kayaks, dragon pedalos and swan boats. Before Christmas the Watersports Centre asked for a carol service to be held there and it was decided that this service would include a Nativity play on the lake! It included shepherds on paddleboards, kings in kayaks and angels in swan boats!

Unfortunately, on the day, the lake was frozen over so the service took place beside the lake instead. Despite the cold, members of the Watersports Centre, their friends and family enjoyed the carols accompanied by Maidstone Salvation Army Band. They also enjoyed seeing the Nativity formed around the crib that had been launched on to the frozen water.
