This past week, The Tabor Ringers, based at Tabor Independent Church, North Road, Timsbury, were received enthusiastically at the Cheshire Home and the Gardening Club in Timsbury before a live broadcast on Somer Valley Radio.

This coming week sees a return visit to Clare Hall, in Ston Easton, followed by another return engagement in Writhlington Village Hall for the Christmas Carol Service and Festivities.

This Festive Season culminates in our home venue, Tabor Church, for the annual candlelit Carol Service, on 22nd December, in which we will be taking part. This service is led by Jean Auckland and will be followed by seasonal refreshments.

Real candles will not be available, but we are asking people to bring along tea lights, candles or any ‘replication’ of candles they may have.

Tabor is the host Church for the Christmas Day United Service at 10 a.m. and will be led by Mr and Mrs Shute, featuring a play written by their eldest son, Jonathan, with Alec, their youngest son, playing the organ, so, a real family affair. D. Carter
