The evening of Contemporary Christmas Carols hosted by
Wisbech Churches Together with The King's Church, Wisbech in aid of the Refugee
Fundraising Appeal happened on Saturday. The Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech came
alive with rousing music - some familiar Christmas Carols alongside more
contemporary Christmas worship songs which were enjoyed by all. Video clips of
the Christmas story set within a modern context punctuated the music. Just
before the interval, there was a moment to pause and pray for those caught up in
the refugee crisis in Europe with prayer stations to help bring a focus to our
prayers.
During the interval there were tea, coffee, mince pies, a
variety of items needed in the Calais 'Jungle' Camp in France posted on an
Amazon Wish List and some needlework crafts on sale to help raise funds for the
appeal. A total of £247.36 was raised at the event that will be shared between
the Hope For Calais Amazon wish list and the Christian Aid emergency appeal.
Thank you to everyone who attended.
