On Saturday 9th March we welcomed the Avon and Somerset Constabulary Male Voice Choir to Staple Hill Methodist Church. The choir has been regularly performing in concert at the church for many years and this concert was very poignant as we remembered church member and choir member George Shemwell. The choir performed a selection of pieces including some which were close to George's heart, Eli Jenkin's Prayer from 'Under Milk Wood' being one such piece.
It was an amazing evening - the choir's performance was both moving and uplifting. With an audience of nearly 100, around £600 was raised for Church funds along with an additional £60 from refreshment donations which will be donated to St Peter's Hospice.
Thank you to the choir for returning to our Church and to all who attended and supported this event. We look forward to them returning again in the not-too-distant future.
