Epworth Christmas Celebration

Posted on by

Tuesday 15th December, 7.30pm
Online via Zoom

This year has been difficult for everyone and we are so disappointed that we won’t be able to hold our Epworth Christmas concert this year. However, I am delighted to tell you that we will be holding an on-line event that can be accessed by everyone. There are no tickets required but we are still supporting the York Road Project as our charity of the year and would ask that you make a donation of whatever you can afford to them.

The evening will be a chance to look back at some of our previous concerts, we have videos from 2006, 2009 and 2013 and these will be mixed with some live music from Michael and Laurence and a chance for you to sing along with some traditional Christmas carols.

We will also have some readings and prayers from Peter, Marian and Barbara and an appeal from the York Road project. Time will be available for you to have a chat and we will set up some areas in zoom for you to do this at the end.

Please forward this invitation to all of your family and friends, dress in Christmas attire and bring along a drink and nibble of your own choice. We look forward to seeing you all.
