Holy Thursday 2015

The terrible loneliness of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as he prayed while his disciples struggled to stay awake is commemorated by the Altar of Repose on Holy Thursday.

The Parish Nativity Play took place in All Saints Church, Calverton on Sunday 21st December at 4pm by candlelight.  The church was packed with people.  SMSG church band conducted by Lesley and the small Willis pipe organ played by John provided the accompanying music.  Staging to make the children a bit more visible from the box pews was provided by SMSG church school.

Carol Singing around Stony Stratford and Galley Hill was on 18th and 22nd December this year.  These photos are of the carol singers just before they got mulled wine and snacks after 90 minutes of singing outdoors in Stony Stratford on Monday night.  Over £120 was raised for ‘Let the Children Live’ on these two evenings.
