Seaford Baptist Church was alive with community spirit on Monday 7th December as almost 200 people including local dignitaries, councillors and members of the public were in attendance for the Mayor of Seaford’s Christmas Carol Service.
During the service the talented children of the Seaford Primary Chamber Choir, directed and accompanied by Kate Steer, performed carols for the audience including a beautiful rendition of Silent Night.
Those in attendance also joined in with other well-loved carols, led by the Seaford Baptist Church Concert Choir. Readings were given by Laurie Holland, Peter White, Bob Peedle, Peter Fenwick, Frank Parker and Mayor Argent himself.
After the service, everyone enjoyed tea, mince pies and delicious cake graciously baked by the Mayoress. Thanks to all of the kind donations at the end of the service we were able to raise over £150 for the Mayor’s charities Seaford Lifeguards and CTLA.
Mayor Argent said “I would like to sincerely thank everyone that took the time to come along; it was great to see so many people there. I would also like to thank Reverend Vicky Martin and the SBC Concert Choir for leading the service, everyone that volunteered their time to help with the event, Kate and the school choir and especially to my wife for the time she spent making the beautiful flower arrangements and cakes that everyone enjoyed so much.”
