Food bank donations will make a cracking difference over Christmas

A huge thank you to all of our Parish members who have donated to our local food bank this year. At the Pairsh Council we have been collecting donations and nipping them down to St Saviours Food Bank throughout the pandemic to help those most in need in our Community.

We will be making our final drop before Christmas this week, and it really is heartwarming to see all of the donations we have received so close to Christmas.

Special thanks to Candy Kabin and Mazehill Nursery who dropped off lots of donations they collected from their customers and parents, which will really give the Food Bank a boost.

Ecclesfield Carols – Virtual Sings

Thursdays 3rd, 10th and 17th December 2020

Starting at 8pm

The tradition of singing local carols has thrived in the Sheffield area, especially in pubs, for two or three centuries and most of the carols pre-date the well-known ‘conventional’ carols.

Normally we would be singing the Ecclesfield Carols in the Black Bull where we have been for the last 70 years, but this year we will be meeting via Zoom instead.

You are very welcome to join us and there is no charge for participating.

Visit localcarols.org.uk  for more information on all this year’s virtual local carol sings, including Ecclesfield, where you can fill in a short form for us to send you the Zoom links to the Ecclesfield sings and words to the carols.

You can also contact us by emailing  ecclesfieldcarols@gmail.com

Hopefully next year the local carols will be back in their rightful place in the pubs!
