Thorne Methodist Church Christmas Fayre

Thorne Methodist Church held their first Christmas Fayre for some years this year! On entering the Church grounds, Father Christmas was there to greet you with a table of goodies to look through for Christmas present inspiration.

Once at the hall at the back, a room of supervised activities had been set aside for visiting children to allow their parents/grandparents/guardians to enjoy a browse around the many stalls in peace. There were Bring and Buy stalls, Book and Jigsaw stalls, Clothing and Handbag stalls, Handcrafted jewellery stall, Cake Stall, Bric-a-Brac stalls and others.

The hardworking elves in the kitchen were serving drinks with homemade cakes and mince pies, soup was on offer and bacon butties.

It was a wonderful Christmas Fayre, very busy and raising funds for church.

On speaking to a couple of Thorne Methodist Church members – the best thing about the day was how this Fayre had been a church member's idea – not church council – inspired by something they had heard and that it brought the whole church together to work as a family. This event brought joy to so many people and brought the church congregation closer together.

Happy Christmas.
