Every ticket was sold, and about 200 people filled our hall for our annual CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL. Carols were sang, accompanied by band and piano, and gave the gathered congregation opportunity to sing about the blessings of Christmas. Our band and singing group as ever gave so much to the event, and our children and youth were part of our 'finale' which talked about the Great Light. Some of our older members of the church also took part in this, and it was directed by Barry and Karen. Karen's daughter, Katy, sang Silent Night. Les Daniels read from the Scriptures. The Leechpool Primary School sang some great songs and reminded us through narration of the Gospel message and it was good to have them as part of our event again this year. Cameron Lonie, accompanied by Grandad Neville, presented some Clarinet solos which were very well received. Our corps officer team saw through the evening, which was attended by the High Sherriff of West Sussex and the Chairperson of Horsham District Council. An appeal was given, giving people opportunity to give towards our Christmas Campaign. £1000 was collected, and with tickets sales, the event made a profit of £1500, which will go to helping other people. We were blessed through so many parts of the evening, and in that too the time and commitment of those who took part. Thank you everyone for making this a very special event indeed.
