The Nine Lessons and Carol Service were held by the Revd. Margaret van den Berg at St Mary's Church on Sunday 13th December 2020 at 5:00pm. This is another celebration where the two island churches come together and hold a joint service.

The service was very well attended and a wonderful time was had by all present. The children sang "Away in a Manager" supported by Lorraine and Helene, while Marlene played the music on the organ. Vincent Meni and Leon Bredell provided guitar and organ music for the carols. Hopefully this will start a trend for guitarists to come forward and play more often at church services.
