Packed St Collen's congregation sing Carols by Candlelight


A packed St Collen's celebrated its annual Carols by Candlelight service yesterday (Sunday) evening with a joyous seasonal programme of songs, prayers and readings.

A specially-recruited choir, whose members had been practising their parts over a few weeks beforehand, provided powerful musical accompaniment while Father Lee Taylor led worship.

Readings, which portrayed the Biblical story leading up to the Nativity, came from the Deputy Mayor of Llangollen, Cllr Damon Richards-Gwilliam; John Gambles, chairman of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod; Osian Watts, a police cadet and member of the congregation; Enid Law, president of Llangollen Inner Wheel; Phil Robinson (llanblogger); Major (Retd) Mike Adams of Llangollen Royal British Legion; and the Rev Ruth Gee, Minister of Llangollen Methodist Church.

The special atmosphere within the colourfully decorated church was set by members of the congregation each bearing small, lit Christingle candles.
