A Day of Music

On Wednesday, 9th December, Hereford Baptist Church resounded with music on two occasions.
The Wednesday Club was entertained to a programme of light classical piano music and popular songs under the title of “Joan & Friends”. Joan, the Club’s ‘Resident Musician’ once again found much talent to draw from amongst the members and a friend, who all delighted us with vocal solos and duets as well as a variety of piano pieces. As a real treat, Joan had composed a special piano trio for the occasion, when she had “great difficulty in finding enough space on the keyboard for three pairs of hands - none interfering with another”. The hour-long concert came to a rousing finale when everybody joined in Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance”.

Joan & Friends

The Main church was filled in the evening for a charity concert on behalf of Hope Now.
“Close to the Heart” is a group of ordinary young people from Ukraine who have a desire to sing together, introduce the work of Hope Now, and share their culture and faith during a month-long tournee in England. Each member of the group has overcome a variety of difficult home backgrounds with the help of Hope Now and want to give something back to British donors and prayer partners through their music and personal testimonies.

CVM Bowling Night

Bowling Fun

Late in November CVM for Men @ Hereford Baptist Church (Christian Vision for Men) spent an enjoyable evening at the “TGS Bowling Centre”, Hereford. One of the aims of ‘CVM’ is for members to invite friends from outside the church to share in an informal event of Christian Fellowship and Friendship.

All levels of expertise were represented, ranging from Beginners through Intermediate to Advanced. However, the evening was one of fun and any competitive spirit was wholly private. Both misses and strikes were acknowledged with equal applause and laughter.

Future events planned for early next year include a Dinner Outing and a Snooker Night.
