Parish of Stroud
Almost a hundred people from Stroud and beyond enjoyed Sunday evening’s combined churches lessons and carols at St John’s.
“Many thanks to children and adults who read – Jude, two Felicitys, Joe, Chris; for the joint efforts of Anne Frost and Daphne Dobbyn whose program had great flow and enjoyment.” Fantastic music from the Stroud Crowd Choir, and the Stroud Brass Ensemble, plus Hugh Knight at the organ. “Many thanks to Tosia Cribben and Ken Maddocks and the catering team. Thanks to the generosity of the congregation, $800 will be given to Stroud Lodge for shade sails.”
