Carol Singing around Upleadon Village.
There will be our annual carol singing around the village on Monday 8th December. If you'd like to join us in singing, we meet at the Village Hall, ready to depart for 6pm. We are usually out singing for around 2 hours (weather permitting) and then gather at Broadlands for warming and welcome refreshments when the generous donations are counted. We are always looking for more singers, so especially if you are not on our normal route, please do come along - you don't need to be particularly good, in fact most of us are spectacularly bad (I think...) but the variety of voices makes for a good sound. The more the merrier. Bring a torch and wrap up warm!

Sunday 12th January News!!
Sadly due to the recent spell of very cold weather, the ground outside the church is very icy and slippery and the tough decision to cancel this Sunday's service has been taken on safety grounds.

There will be no service on Sunday 12th January 2025 in Upleadon due to the icy conditions as it has been decided that is would be unsafe for the congregation to walk on the icy ground and potentially icy stone steps leading up to the church entrance. We'll keep our fingers crossed that this cold weather goes soon!
