MEMBERS of the Heathcote Community Home Church and locals gathered at Palling Bros Brewery last weekend in a special service to celebrate the birth of Jesus.<\/p>\n
Reverend Bron Jones, who with her husband John Robertson organised the event, said she was very pleased with the response.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the third time we\u2019ve held this event and I thought it went very smoothly,\u201d said Rev Jones. \u201cI think everyone enjoyed the service and hearing how Christmas began.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was wonderful to see some new faces, too. We had adults, children and even a dog.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reverend Jones played the flute, accompanied by Mr Robertson on guitar for the free event.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody liked singing the traditional carols and Trevor Moore read one of his beautiful poems,\u201d said Reverend Jones.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeveral people told the story of Christmas through bible readings and we had Steph Hunt tell her story about Jesus in modern times.\u201d<\/p>\n
One attendee said he had never been to church in a brewery before.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I enjoyed it very much especially the carols,\u201d said Bernie Membrey,<\/p>\n
Reverend Jones said she was very grateful to Peter Pichut and Palling Bros Brewery for providing the space to hold the service.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter is always very supportive and we are already looking forward to doing it again next year,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
