What a great way to spend an afternoon. Vicar Ben, in true rock star style, graced the stage on piano a little later than planned, which meant the audience were primed and ready to enthusiastically shout out requests and loudly sing carols.
With a host of friendly and fantastic people, plenty of carols, lots of jokes and laughter, a raffle with lots of prizes, mulled wine and cakes, and the grand opening of the new toilet – it was truly a great event.
A special well done to Jacob for standing at the front and singing the solo of Once in Royal David’s City.
New Forest Edge Churches
