Around
thirty intrepid singers from St Matthew’s choir and
congregation set out on this now annual event to sing
Christmas carols around the Parish. On a dry but chilly
evening we departed the Parish Centre, carol books
clutched tightly in hand, and stopping at least twice in
every street, we sang a selection of carols to the
residents of Broadway, Park Avenue North, Ashburnham
Road and Collingwood Road. Many people came out from
their houses to listen to us and enjoy the music, with
some rapturous applause from the house where a party was
clearly in progress!
The St Matthew’s Choristers did a brilliant job
collecting
money for
church funds, but we were all pleased to be able to take
a bit of St Matthew’s out into the community. After an
hour and a half we returned to the Parish Centre for
welcome and warming refreshments prepared by the FSMM
committee.
Look out for us again next year – we may be visiting
your street...!
