Community rallies to gift more than £6006.60 to Burgh le Marsh parish church
Father Terry appealed to parishioners in last week's Skegness Standard to help the church after many fundraising events had to be cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.
He said: "On behalf of the PCC I would like to thank everyone (including Layford's Packaging & Fairburns Eggs) for supporting the Church Christmas Gift Day held recently.

"Also our thanks go to the Spar Shop & Snapdragons Florists for being collecting points."
Although many of the usual Christmas celebrations will not happen this year, a socially distanced carol service is taking place in the churchyard at 4pm on Sunday, December 20.
People are asked to dress appropriately and take a torch.
