Tonight’s surprise performer
Bournemouth Male Voice Choir
Tonight’s event took place in the North Porch of the Priory, made atmospheric with subtle pale blue lights swirling across the ceiling. The acoustics were excellent and the choir sang an eclectic mix of classical and more modern pieces interspersed with traditional Christmas carols.
Raising money for:
Julia’s House
A cheque for £1,000 was presented by Peter Watson-Lee , of the Christchurch Charitable Trust, to Julia’s House charity. Delicious homemade brownies were provided by Big Wigs bakery. The charity provided raffle prizes which included a glamping weekend and afternoon tea for 2 at The Bear of Burton.
Julia’s House is not a typical children’s hospice. We provide practical and emotional support for families caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, providing frequent and regular support in their own homes, in the community or at our hospices.
Tonight’s Venue:
The Priory, North Porch
There has been a church on the site of Christchurch Priory for over 1300 years, from the first Saxon building to the glorious Priory Church we see today.
Throughout the centuries, the worship of God, through Jesus Christ his Son and inspired by the Holy Spirit, has been at the heart of the Priory’s life and has fuelled its service to the local community. Very rarely has the voice of praise been stilled within these walls: once during the reign of King John, when the country was under Papal censure; once, at least, because of bubonic plague; and recently as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Our prayer and worship continues, but in new ways.
The Priory Church is open for visitors as well as for private prayer. We look forward to welcoming you.
