Sunny Christmas Eve
In this time of terrible news dominated by the seemingly relentless march of COVID, it is worth reminding ourselves of some of the good things that continue and of the people who make them happen.

They all seem to be key workers, and deserve our thanks and respect. Don’t forget that the Leigh Life Line is still in operation on 07942 646052, and the church still opens daily as a haven of quiet, as well as hosting a village emergency box.
