Oakham Baptist Church say if you're on your own on Christmas Day
or can't afford to cook a meal, then you're welcome to join them at their community Christmas lunch on the 25th. There is a service at 11 and the lunch is at midday. To book, e-mail admin@oakhambaptist.org.uk or call them on 01572724990.
