The ‘Lost Sheep of Shifnal’ will launch on December 1 and aims to bring the community together and provide some fun for all in the weeks leading up to Christmas, as well as showcasing the Christmas window displays around town that businesses work hard to put together and promoting the ‘shop local’ message.
Rev Chris Thorpe of St Andrews, who is behind the event, said: “The woolly wanderers from St Andrews need rounding up before the crib service on Christmas Eve. Our lost sheep have all been lovingly knitted by congregation members at the church and members of the public are invited to identify, through the Love Shifnal Facebook page, which shop or business they have strayed to.
