Wellow church gets set for Christmas with candlelit event

People living in and around the village of Wellow are being invited to an evening of Carols by Candlelight at St Julian’s Church. The annual event will feature a traditional presentation of Nine Lessons, which will explore the Christmas message, as told in the Bible.

The service will be held completely under candlelight.

Local Vicar, the Revd Matthew Street said:

“Carols by Candlelight includes readings from the Bible in an effort to explore the reason why we celebrate Christmas every year.

This traditional occasion is ideal for the family in the run up to the festive season.”

Carols by Candlelight is at St Julian’s Church, Wellow, on Sunday 18th December, starting at 6.30pm.

St Julian’s Church is part of the ‘St J’s Group’ Anglican benefice, which covers the parish churches of St John's Peasedown, St Julian's Wellow, St James' Foxcote and St Julian's Shoscombe and is named after our three patron saints.
