After a two-year wait, the Dutch Reformed Church of Alexandria had a joyful and blessed event recently with different choirs raising the rafters to mark the occasion. It ended on a high note with a mouth-watering meal, tea and coffee in the church hall.
Feeding the soul before the feast were various choirs. The Algoa@Cantando choir and Eastern Cape Youth choir under Gustel Agenbag, Alexandria UCC, a clarinet, a violin and the king of instruments, the church organ, made the occasion very special. Together with other musicians, including a keyboard player, they filled the church with their golden sounds, blessing the audience with worship.
After the Carol celebration in the church, a winter wonderland atmosphere and a variety of soups, bread and treats in the church hall warmed bodies and hearts. Â
Church member Melinda Wells mentioned that the Dutch Reformed Church of Alexandria had been unable to have its Winter Christmas Carol festival for two years due to Covid-19. So the event was a double joy.
