As a wonderful start to the Christmas season, the choirs of the four Wynberg schools provided parents and members of the broader Wynberg community with a wonderful evening of praise and rejoicing in the birth of Christ.
The hour-long service was held at seven o'clock in the beautiful church, Saint John's Parish in Wynberg and was packed to capacity.
There is little more beautiful to listen to than the purity of a young
boy's voice, and one would have had to have had a heart of steel not to
have got gooseflesh when the solo performer from Wynberg Boys' Junior
opened the service witht the hymn Once in Royal David's City. While the congregation were invited to join in with old favourites such as
Silent Night, Hark! the Herald Angels Sing and O Come, All Ye
Faithful, we were also encouraged to listen, to worship and enjoy as the choirs from our various schools individually and jointly rejoiced in the Christmas season with their chosen hymns.
Readings were given by Carey McIntosh (Girls' Junior), Kirstin Eloff (Girls' High), Stephen Dunn, Paul Cupido (Boy's Junior), Jan de Waal (Boys' High) and Mr Hart. We are grateful to the Boys' Junior School who co-ordinated and arranged the Wynberg 2005 Carol Service and the Music Departments of all four schools for the pocket of praise and thanksgiving we were able to enjoy. |
