what a wonderful evening of Carols beautiful music put together by our Director of Music, Martin Baker – ably assisted in the organisation by (I don’t know what we would do without him) Kevin Greenwood.
The Service had an atmosphere I have only this once experienced anywhere. The thought, planning and preparation that went to putting this event together must have been mammoth.
The Service commenced with the church in complete darkness, and as the choir processed singing around the church, they left a trail of light. Lessons and Prayers were intertwined with the music which was both ethereal and Advent based. The Choir processed through the church to the hymn ‘O Come o Come Emanuel by which time the aisles were lit as can be seen in the photograph. The Congregation joined in heartily with the hymns and Wine and Mince Pies were enjoyed at the end of the service.
What a wonderful event to mark the beginning of our Advent Journey.
