Tabor Independent Methodist Church

The Tabor Ringers have had a good start to the busy Christmas season. Combe Lea in Midsomer Norton gave them their usual warm welcome and showed their appreciation by joining in enthusiastically and singing along. It was a very relaxed atmosphere, and the ringers enjoyed the afternoon as much as the audience.

The next engagement was St Mary’s Lunch Club at Timsbury, and again the audience excelled with their singing. Norton Down Methodist Church coffee morning was the following venue, and after a technical hitch in which one of the music stands was on the point of collapse, the morning went very well.

The next service at Tabor is a Christmas Music Service featuring The Singing Guitars, to be held at 11am on December 14, presided over by Mrs Margaret West.

All are welcome at any of the services or events. Details are on the noticeboard outside the church in North Road, Timsbury.
