Over the Summer holidays, work went on at St James and the Methodist Church in Birstall to get the basics in place for the nativity puppets.  At the Methodist Church, some local families came along for a couple of mornings to cover filled bin bags with papier mache in order to make the basic head shapes.  Carol even got round to modelling some features.

Meanwhile Sylvia and her team used the space in the church to lay out the patterns needed for the puppets’ clothing, which will be accessorised later.
