Melodious voices filled St Michael’s Church for our annual Carols by Candlelight service. Birchwood’s Vocialise and Chamber Choir were in excellent voice filling St Michael’s with seasonal cheer with many traditional carols, including “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”. Lucy Sherwood gave a wonderful solo rendition of “Once in Royal David City”, whilst Elizabeth Vandoorn sang “In the Bleak Mid Winter” accompanied by Vocalise. The carols were accompanied by readings from Mr Gilbank, Eve Bailey, Milla Sweett-Heals and Miss Payne and prayers by Rev D Williams. Special thanks goes to Mr David Pickthall MBE, our organist for the evening and Rev D Williams for inviting us to take part in this wonderful evening.
