The success of last year’s trial of inviting any families or individual people
in the Wrington area, to loan the church, for a couple of days, the figures
and other items which they traditionally use to mark the approach of
Christmas in their homes, meant that a re-run this year was a cert.
The notes which came with many of the exhibits made it clear that their
significance to those families stretched further back in time than the
current or recent years, and carried memories of often very personal and
significant value than just ‘what we do at Christmas’.
It’s a different way to achieve that same range of seasonal meanings
which we stir up when we sing carols.
As a community, we must be grateful to all who permit us a glimpse,
through an exhibition like this, of their very personal histories, and to those
church members who put in the hours to make sure the event happens at
all, and do all the hard - and very rapid construction work, and return the
building to a fit state to house all the other events which will make this
year’s season no less significant for the present generation.
