For more than 30 years, the Canadian Women's Club has hosted a Christmas Carol Service - our annual gift to the Canadian community in London. This year, on Friday 4th December, more than 120 Canadians - of all ages - joined us at the Crown Court Church of Scotland in the heart of Covent Garden for a service of lessons and carols, led by the Reverend Philip Majcher. While this is a distinctly British tradition, we always seek to give it a Canadian flavour and this year was no exception.
With beautiful performances by soloist, Alexandria Beck as well by violinist, Mathieu-Jérémie Boutet (both pictured here), guests joined the Church choir in the singing of many joyful carols - finishing off with a rousing 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'!
The lessons were read by Canadians Catherine McGowan, Jenny Tripp Black, Christopher Adams, Donna Thomson, Claude Boucher, Harry Harsch, Christopher Bunting, Robert J Brant and James Wright. Margaret Wickware, Chair of the Maple Leaf Trust read the Bidding Prayer.
