Late in 2002 I was asked to pick up the reigns as organist at St Barnabas Church @StAandStBWelly... I started on the 2nd Sunday of January in 2003
Still there today 20 years later....
A massive thank you to EVERYONE who supported the Beer and Carols on Sunday - those helped on the night , @StAandStBWelly for hosting & local businesses including @photoNN8@saxbyscider Bestbuys, QL & The Crown
We raised an amazing £227.28 for the @USPGglobal Christmas Appeal.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who came to Beer & Carols last night, & all those who helped - "At the name of Jesus" will never be quite the same and much fun had!
We're still adding up how much we raised for @USPGglobal Christmas Appeal but we'll update you soon
Can't wait to see you all on Sunday evening for 2hrs of fun at our Beer and Carols. We've just gathered all of the raffle prizes together and have been blown away by the support from local businesses and individuals.
Thank you to all involved in sourcing
