Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Through your generosity, the Lights of Hope campaign was our most successful ever. We raised over $9,000.00! Most importantly, we honoured the lives of more than 100 people and remembered the light of more than 175. Each light, a beacon of the hope and promise of this season. The Live Nativity and Tree Lighting event was attended by well over 100 people, of all ages, from the church and wider community. It was a beautiful celebration of the Christmas spirit.
Gratitude to the Bedford Lions Club for donating the tree, to Pat Branton and his merry band of elves for getting the tree in place, and to Sylvia Branton for her tireless work in inviting the generosity of us all.
