After a two-year hiatus, the Eastbourne community carol service is back on. The ecumenical event, backed by all three Eastbourne churches and members of Unity Community (a local Christian women’s group), will be held in the Muritai School Hall on December 11 at 5pm. A live band has been assembled to accompany the carols, which will
be a mix of old favourites and some new ones. Children from San Antonio will perform a musical item and members of the Eastbourne Choir will be there to boost the singing. The Christmas story will be told in a contemporary dialogue between two very busy women of Bethlehem. Children are invited to come dressed as shepherds, angels, animals or stars,

and to bring along some non-perishable food items for the Lower Hutt Foodbank, which will be collected and blessed near the end of the service. Santa is promising to make a dramatic entrance, thanks to a little bit of noisy help from the Eastbourne Fire Brigade. He'll be bringing some cold North Pole/Four Square treats for the children and all those young at heart.
