United Chapel and Church carol service originally set for the 10th December has now been moved to the 22nd December.
Due to some confusion in the diaries it has been agreed to move the United Carol service to the 22nd December, 3.00 p.m. at Warleggan Church. This is the Canoryon Lowen Nine lessons and Carols candlelit service with mince pies and mulled wine.
As we know the Nine Lessons and Carols service was devised in Cornwall and was first held in Truro on Christmas Eve 1880. The service was put together by the Bishop of the time, the Right Reverend Edward White Benson. Bishop Benson '..'concerned at the excessive consumption of alcohol in Cornish pubs during the festive season, sought a means of attracting revellers out of the pubs and into church by offering a religious celebration at Christmas.''
So please come and join us to celebrate the 144th anniversary of this great tradition !
