Sunday 10th December 10.00am @ BFPC - Toy Service	Every year, we spend a large amount of money on toys and gifts for our children - to show them just how much we love them! This year, we thought we would give everyone an opportunity to show that love to others and so we are inviting people to bring Gifts and presents for those connected with Julia's House Hospice in Poole, to give them a better Christmas. For more details, contact the Church office by emailing .
Sunday 10th December 3.00pm @ Langton - A Traditional Carol Service	The Langton Long Carol service is a traditional service of readings and carols and is being led this year by a choir from the two churches in the Benefice - Blandford and Langton.

Sunday 17th December 6.30pm @ BFPC - A Contemporary Carol Service	"What Do You Want For Christmas?" A good question !! What do we want as opposed to what do we need - that is the message of this (more informal) carol service at BFPC which aims to tell the story of Christmas in a way which is accessible to all ages in today's world. Using video and power point with traditional carols and songs, as well as the Christmas readings, it is an ideal opportunity to bring a friend.
