On Sunday, December 6, the annual Toy and Gift Service took place at the Delabole Methodist Church, led by Rev Bryan Ede.

The service also included the Christingle celebration. Many children brought a number of toys along to the service which were placed under the tree to be forwarded to the National Children's Home at Bodmin.

Tins of food were brought along by members of the congregation and these will be taken to share at Bodmin. Everyone came together to give a little something at this special time to people less fortunate.

A buffet lunch and a 'Christmas Messy Church' followed in the afternoon which proved to be a great success.
