You may know that Daltonians already think of Dalton as the Christmas capital of Furness with the various events which are put on at Christmas time – and this year a new event is taking place which is being organised jointly by Dalton United Reformed Church and Dalton Methodist Church.
This new event is called the Angel Trail. Angels feature many times in the bible, including several times in the Christmas story, bringing a message from God to a particular person or people. A number of ‘angels’ will bring a Christmas message to Dalton during Advent through the Angel Trail. The schools in Dalton have made Angel collages to display around the town. Each collage will display a letter. People will be invited to buy an entry form for £1 before going round the town to find the angels and collect the letters. The letters will spell out a Christmas message. All correct entries will be entered into a draw, with a small prize for the winner. All money from the entries will be donated to St Mary’s Hospice in Ulverston.
The Angels will be displayed from Advent Sunday November 28th until Christmas Eve December 24th. One of the Angels will be on display in the St Mary’s Dalton shop, Market Street, so keep an eye out!
