THE Zion Christian Centre in Halesowen is expecting over a 1,000 people to join them for their Christmas Carol extravaganza.

The Little Cornbow church is holding three carol services on Sunday, December 19 at 11am, 4pm and 7.30pm.

Janet Whitehead, church publicity officer, is looking forward to the annual event.

She said: “The event is always very well attended, we normally see around 1000 people over the 3 performances.

“They are a mixture of music and the creative arts and ideal way to set the mood and tone for Christmas.

“The performance last 90mins and is followed by hot drinks and mince pies.”

The carol service will cap off a successful year for the Zion Centre which included a community action day and the opening of its new outreach centre at the church.
