Mayor of Ferryhill Town Council Carol Service
There was still quite a lot of snow in the countryside as we were driven to
St Luke's Church in Ferryhill. We were welcomed by the Mayor of
Ferryhill, Councillor Peter Atkinson and his wife, in a warm church hall.
More of the chain gang (Mayors) arrived before we were shown to our
seats in the church. During the service we were entertained by the
children from the Broom Cottages Primary School and the St Luke's Church
Singers. The music was provided by the Ferryhill Town Band and the
church organist. The vicar tried something new with having the band
and the organ both playing the last carol together and it worked quite
well.
After the Carol Service we were invited for refreshments in the Church
Hall, and what a spread it was. It was the Vicar's grand-daughter's
birthday and she had her photograph taken with all the chain gang, and she
was so proud.
We said our goodbyes and left for our drive home.
