Chri​stmas Concert Saturday 16 December 2023 

The Christmas concert was very well attended as pews and chairs were completely full. Carols were sung, poems were read and there was a funny skit on the 12 Days of Christmas. Eric our organist and pianist accompanied the singing and played a lovely piece by Chopin called 'Raindrops' on the piano.  Tea and mince pies were enjoyed at the interval and £240 was collected for the Veterns Association. 

​It was a most enjoyable event and the first Christmas Concert or Carol Service held in the Chapel for several years. We are very grateful to our Verger and Secretary of the FSGC, Margaret Wilmot, for arranging this excellent event.

Fourth Sunday of Advent 22nd December 2019


The Sunday service for the last Sunday in Advent was Holy Communion  and the minister was Reverend Diana Coutts.  Several people had travelled a long distance to attend service and it was nice to see old friends who had made the journey to attend.

The fourth candle on the  Advent candle stand  was lit during a prayer.  As there would not be  a service on Christmas Day, the Christmas Candle, was lit as well. The crib was blessed and the youngest person in the Chapel participated in the blessing.

​​Reverend Diana gave an amusing and memorable Christmas sermon about Christ's coming and a school nativity play she had organised ago.
The Chapel has been beautifully decorated by Margaret Wilmot and Leslee Robbens. Tony, a Friend of the Chapel and Museum Volunteer has provided a CD player.  Carols are playing in the background and the music enhances the Christmas atmosphere.
