Christmas Carols with St James Church Community & important message about Carol singing at the Countess of Chester 2025
· by jonathangilliatt | Dec. 16, 2025, 12:12 p.m.We have advertised carol singing around the wards at the Countess of Chester on 17th December 2025 from 6.30pm. However, in view of the Super- flu outbreak it may be the case that this is cancelled so before you depart or make any arrangements it is VERY IMPORTANT to check in with the Chaplaincy on 01244 364543 or email coch.chaplaincy@nhs.net.
St James' Church clergy and parishioners came together at the Mercure Hotel, Rowton on Friday evening for a spot of wonderful carol singing! The carol singers' efforts appeared to be very warmly received indeed by guests at the hotel....some even saying it was better than the football!!!
