Carol Service
Wesley Methodist Church Hawera will host, on Sunday the 10th December at 4pm a Service of Lessons and Carols for Christmas, with the Madrigal Companie from New Plymouth providing the choir for this special occasion.
It is a presentation of readings from the Bible, favourite carols for community singing and specially prepared music from the choir and organ. “Altogether it is a simple and memorable way to join together for a reminder of Christmas joy and love” says the director of the Madrigal Companie, Leon Paix. “We sang here last year and enjoyed it so much that we decided to come again. Sharing the spirit of Christmas is a really special thing to do – we love it!” Carols will include Away in a manger and O come all ye faithful, while the choir will present ancient and modern including What sweeter music by the contemporary composer John Rutter and O Magnum Mysterium by the 16th century composer de Victoria.
There is no ticket charge, just a welcome to all who come and enjoy.

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
