Once again the Brethren from the Hartlepool Lodges flocked to the Church of St Hilda to attend the 7th annual carol service. The event again like previous years was well attend with almost 200 comprising of Brethren with their family and friends.
The service was conducted by the Reverend Chris Collision with the support of St Hilda’s Choir and the children’s LOGOS choir, this year’s musical interlude was The Northumbria Pipers played by Tim Jones and Brian Fisher.
The lessons were read in the most part from the Chaplains from Lodges in the Town.
Organisers W.Bro John Thompson and Bro William Horsley were thrilled with the turnout and support from the Masons of Hartlepool and surrounding areas.
The collection in the church raised over £350. The date for next years’ service is already in the diary , Thursday 18th December 2014
