Christmas Greetings to Friends & Neighbours… via our very own Festive Tree in North Luffenham Church

Last year the Parish Church was given a wonderful large wooden Christmas Tree made by Men & Women in Sheds, Rutland. This year we would like to start a Community Christmas Card Scheme for the residents of North Luffenham whilst raising funds for the Church & making our parishioners’ lives simpler.

To share festive greetings with your friends & neighbours in the village, please drop your Christmas card, along with your donation for the Church to Dove Cottage, 4 Church Street, North Luffenham before 22nd December (date of our Carol Service).

Your cards will be displayed on our unique wooden Christmas tree in the porch of the Church which will be specially lit for the occasion.

Thank you for joining in our new village ‘tradition’ 🎄

for any information, please contact Janet Whittaker on tel 01780 721216 or email rutlandwhittakers@outlook.com

Looking for a unique and sustainable Christmas tree?

Our Rutland Men & Women in Sheds members lovingly craft wonderful wooden trees made to order and they have been a hit with many local business & residents for the last few years.

Made from repurposed pallet wood, they can be made in varying styles and sizes and are a great alternative to a real Christmas tree.

All proceeds from the sale of the trees directly benefit the Shed which provides a safe place for individual pursuits and community projects for local older people 🌟

To order please email our Rutland Shed:- rutlandshed@ageukleics.org.uk
