The musical evening was a tremendous success and very enjoyable. The Revd Margaret Pringle led the service, and said “we were delighted to have the members of the Bawn silver band with their musical director Alan Graham and band leader Trevor Lochart.”
The band provided the music for the congregational singing and also played a number of well known tunes. The members of Donagh Parish Choir, conducted by Ethne Mc Cord, sang a number of pieces which included When peace like a river and The old rugged cross. The choir brought the service to a conclusion by suitably singing the Benediction.
The Scripture readings were read by William Singleton from Errigal Truagh Parish and Jean Wallace from of Donagh Parish. The collectors were David Waller, Clayton Coulter, William Singleton and Jean Wallace. The service was followed by supper, which was served in the nearby parish hall.
As well as being an enjoyable evening it was very successful financially with the collection amounting to €1,450, which will go towards the repair of Donagh church roof.
The Reverend Margaret Pringle expressed her thanks to everyone for supporting the evening and for being so generous. She also thanked those who had any input into the service and also to those who provided the refreshments.
