A charity carol service will welcome the Rt Revd Andrew Watson, Bishop of Guildford, as its special guest. Taking place at St Mary’s Church, Fetcham on Thursday 8 December the candlelit carol service will be followed by a festive drinks reception at Fetcham Park.
The service will support local charity Transform Housing & Support, which provides housing, support and home care to over 2,000 people each year, helping homeless and vulnerable people to reach their goals and live independent and fulfilling lives.
The service has been organised in partnership with St Mary’s Church, Leatherhead & District Chamber of Commerce and Fetcham Park. There will be a free drinks reception at the historic Fetcham Park, with refreshments generously provided by Fetcham Park and the Chamber.
The evening will feature a welcome message from the Rt Revd Andrew Watson (Bishop of Guildford) followed by a traditional carol service, led by Revd Andrew Smith, Rector of Fetcham. The service will also include a reading from Mole Valley Chairman, Councillor David Mir as well as music from
St Mary’s choir, and carols for everyone to sing.
