Christmas Carols (December 2013)

The 2013 Christmas Carols by Candlelight took spectacular form in the Church car park behind the thrift shop. The children from Interactive Parenting – led by Jillian – were the stars of the show singing some beautiful carols and providing plenty of laughs and joy. Many thanks to everyone in the Church and the Neighbourhood Centre who came together to make the night a reality.
