On Saturday 19 December 2020 members of Latchford Methodist Church gathered in the village to sing carols and distribute knitted angels. Cheerful voices were raised to celebrate the season of Advent and bring hope and joy to people suffering from the worries and restrictions of the covid pandemic. The use of the outdoor sound system carried the singing further and the response was wonderful with passing traffic tooting their horns, residents coming out of their homes and passers-by all stopping to listen and join in. At the same time 100 angels knitted by 3 church members were distributed around the village, left in shops and handed out to children and adults as a Christmas gift of love from the Church. It is planned to hold similar events regularly in future to bring worship outdoors into the community and share the hope found in Christ and God’s love for all people.
