Chance to light up Willington tree
6:28pm Thursday 27th November 2008
CHILDREN in Willington are competing for the honour of switching on the Christmas Tree lights next week.
Willington Community Partnership is inviting under 11s to enter a Come Share the Light contest by filling in a short form at the Resource Centre before next Tuesday.
The switching on ceremony is on the Town Green at 6pm on Friday December 5 when there will be a short carol service with music from Aycliffe and Brancepeth Brass Band. More carols follow later at Lydia Street Methodist Church.
On Saturday December 6 the church has a Christmas Tree Festival with music and food from 10am to 4pm.
A Christmas Service starts at 10.30am on Sunday December 7 with a soup and sandwich lunch, jazz and carols from 12noon until 4pm and a closing celebration from 4 to 4.45pm.
The events are part of a weekend celebrating Hope 08 which has linked the partnership with the town’s three Christian churches to develop community initiatives.
