On Saturday, the day before the start of Advent, St Paul’s held its annual Christmas Fair. All the usual stalls offered their wares, and the cafe served mincepies and bacon butties! There were plenty of customers, including a number of visitors on holiday in the town, and business was brisk resulting in a very profitable result.
The church tree had been dressed – this year all the decorations had been home-made in white, each one representing a Christian symbol.
