A decades-long popular Christmas Eve family service returns to Holy Trinity Anglican Church this weekend.
Covid has put paid to the service in recent years but on Sunday it will be back, complete with a real donkey.
The service is mostly a Christmas play with a narrator guiding the actors.
Mary, Joseph, and the baby are already cast and will have a bit of a practice, but most of the actors will be those who turn up on the night.
“We have a narrator who guides them all through the play, keeping it light, and fun, and easy for the actors. This year the narrator also plays the angel Gabriel,” said the Reverend Bronwyn Marchant.
