Thank you to everyone who attended this morning’s service, labelled as ‘Not the Carol Service’ because of the restrictions which had to be imposed in order to comply with the guidelines in force during the pandemic. Sadly these included restricting numbers and preventing the congregation from singing. Fortunately the choir, strengthened once again by Fabian and Gabriel Reis and Francesca Ede, were permitted to sing; so we were still able to hold a service comprising the usual mix of lessons and carols. Fabian started the service with the traditional solo of the first verse of ‘Once in Royal David’s city’. Thank you to our brilliant organist, Hugh Cobbe, for organising the music and leading the choir.
So that those who were unable to attend could still take part we broadcast the service via Facebook, which also shows the wonderful arrangements by our fantastic flower team.
Thank you, Christine, for leading us.
