“A true gift of the season ”

Sharing such an evening was a gift – the gift of God and the gift of all the people who have worked so hard to lovingly restore the church (but please don’t install electricity – it’s magical to be in a church lit by lamps and candles). There may be but two regular services a year – one on Christmas Eve, one on the August civic holiday Sunday to honour those buried at its cemetery – but these faithful volunteers have made sure that at these times, the church’s beauty and graceful spirit help to convey the message of strength, love, and goodwill. Not only the parishioners at these two services should be thankful; indeed, the entire county can be grateful that this beacon of faith shines so brightly from the little clearing in the woods.
