The singing of the well-known opening hymn, 'All things bright and beautiful' aptly described the idyllic setting for a Garden Party held in the grounds of Kilwarlin Moravian Church on Saturday afternoon (14th June). The recently installed minister, the Rev Patsy Holdsworth, led the singing of this well-known hymn followed by a prayer. The chairman, Mr Ronnie Macartney (University Road Moravian, Belfast) welcomed everyone and Mrs Elizabeth Ward officially pronounced the party open.

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 a variety of cakes, plants, crafts, white elephant and bookstalls and also a tombola, bouncy castle and children's fancy dress parade and live musical entertainment.
