Beautiful summer weather added to the idyllic setting for a Garden Party held in the grounds of Kilwarlin Moravian Church last Saturday afternoon 9th June. Pipers Peter Gray and Michael Woods piped in the start of the event. The minister, the Rev Paul Holdsworth opened with a Bible reading and prayer after which his father, Mr Alan Holdsworth (Chairman) welcomed the large crown and wished them an enjoyable afternoon. Mrs Karen Mawhinney said that it was great to see so many here and after giving a brief explanation of the things to see in the grounds of the historic church, she declared the Garden Party open. Stuart Walker and Little Talia Hoey presented gifts to Mrs Mawhinney and Mr Holdsworth (snr).

Cream Teas and Strawberry and Cream were served in the church hall and at tables in the beautiful grounds of this historic church. There were also a variety of cakes, plants, crafts and bookstalls. Local musicians Billy Gibson and Brian Thompson (The 2 of Us) provided an afternoon of well-known foot tapping songs.
