Noisy Crib Service!
Christmas Day Special

Following the immense popularity of the monthly Noisy Family Worship services in All Saints Church in Collingham, for young people and their parents, it was decided to hold a Christmastide Noisy Crib Service. This was a galloping success, with All Saints' filled to overflowing in spite of imported extra seating. Can you spot yourself or any of your friends in the photographs?
