Sage Cross Methodist Church put its nativity scenes on display to celebrate the start of Advent.
Keith Yates, church steward, said: “We had a good attendance on both days and increased profit by one seventh more than last year.
“It’s become a tradition to put these cribs from around the world on display and all the funds raised go towards developments in the church.
