We were delighted to welcome five schools this year: Rototuna, Rukuhia, Tauwhare, Tamahere and St Columba's. The children and their teachers had carefully chosen items to perform and they put such effort, enthusiasm and energy into their singing, as did the readers. They were a blessing to us all. We also welcomed two choirs: Eastside Singers and the Cathedral Singers, a flute group, a  recorder group and Grier and Giane Gardyne. Each brought something special and the services were oases in this frantic time. Thank you to all who participated and brought such joy to those who attended.
