Christmas festival 2013

Sadly tonight we missed having Leechpool school choir with us, but it didn't stop it being a great night. With lots of opportunity to sing carols, the band played 2 pieces which included 'The manger scene' and the singing group sang 3 songs - 'Sing a song of Christmas', 'Joy to the world' and 'A star was shining'.
Our guest soloist Kaytie Harding really made our evening complete with her contributions - 'A winter's tale', 'Unto us a child is born' 'A grown up's wish list' and Santa Claus is coming to town'. Her singing of 'Breath of heaven' was beautiful and thought provoking too as Kaytie led us to think about the 15 year old Mary through this beautiful song.
A perfect Christmas evening.

This morning's meeting was led by Trevor and ably assisted by Nkosi, whilst our officers are away as staff at our divisional summer school.
The theme of the meeting was 'smile' and we were encouraged to smile during the whole meeting. We had jokes shared, had to name Mr men and read religious jokes on the power point.
Songs sung this morning were 'If I were a butterfly', 'There is sunshine in my soul today','I will enter his gates' and 'Teach me to dance'. We also shared in 2 'old' choruses - 'If but a smile comes back to you' and 'With Christ in the vessel' These were aided by about 6 'former' singing company members  - Vic Jannels, Trevor and June Belcher to name a few!
The band played 'Hand me down my silver trumpet' and the singing group sang a new song ' Let a little sunshine in your heart'  - and they all smiled while singing!
We then celebrated with Vic and Sheila Jannels on this their 40th wedding anniversary, with some coffee and cake.
