Many people helped
make Christmas a good occasion in our parish. I
would like to thank the many who helped: those
assisting with arrangements with many carol
services and concerts, church decorators and
cleaners, those who delivered Christmas leaflets,
those who went Carol singing around the parish,
our own choirs and musicians. Several people at
Carol and Christingle Services at both churches
said how much they had appreciated the leaflets
with times of services. |
It
takes much time and energy from many people to prepare
for the Christmas services. Our choirs need to learn and
rehearse the carols that they will sing at our own carol
services, All Saints in particular needs to be prepared
for the many carol concerts/services that take place (in
particular the arrangeing of the staging to the
requirements of a particular event). Thousands of
leaflets detailing the times of services need to be
printed for distribution during the parish carol singing.
In particular I must thank the parents of the young
choristers at both of our churches for their support in
allowing their children to attend so many special
services particularly the Midnight Eucharist.
The
great number of events at All Saints meant that many
thousands of people came to the church during the
Christmas season to hear the Christmas Message. This
makes all of the effort of many people so worthwhile
and thank you all very much.
