Christmas Day at St John the Baptist in South Collingham was very special in that it re-opened the Church after several weeks' closure due to dangerous finials on the tower.

St John the Baptist's tower, seen through the beautiful tracery of the trees, shows a flag flying. And a peal of five bells is ringing. Could this mean that the Church is open again after its repairs?
Yes. Here are some of the bell-ringers to welcome us back to St John's.
And in the window corner . . .
The South door is appropriately decorated in Christmas livery.
A bit of sorting out in the Chancel . . .
The Advent candles progress to full Christmas mode . . .
A view across the screen towards the pulpit. Lets take a closer look at the crib . . .
A close-up of the Nativity scene below the pulpit. The scene was hand made by Church members.
The font is decorated with lovely figures donated by the Lauder family to commemorate Gordon, Church Warden, who died earlier in 2004
A little gathering of what was a very full congregation. That looks a lovely Christmas tree in the background.
And closer to the tree, we can see the beautiful decorations made over the years by David Cobb's parents.
After a lovely re-opening service on Christmas Day 2004, it's time to go and see to those Christmas dinners!
David and Marie with the gifts presented to them by Revd David. These were a small way of thanking them for all the hard work they had put in getting the Church re-launched after such major repairs.
