A Concert for Peace in Harmony

Friday 16^th December, 7.00 for 7.30 pm

Please join us at St Etheldreda’s Church at 19 Egremont St at 7.00pm for a glass of wine and live music at 7.30pm to raise money for the humanitarian cause in Ukraine, and St Etheldreda’s Church.
 
The Ely Music Collective (EMC) is a new group of likeminded musicians from Ely, our aim is to bring beautiful music alive in our community as a way of connecting us all, especially in these challenging times. For this concert, the EMC will comprise a trio of flute, violin and cello and will play an engaging offering of music from Bach and Haydn in the 17/18th centuries, to an impressionistic, approachable modern piece of music by Robert Emil Hanson from the 20th century.
 
Musicians are donating their time, and a glass of wine will be offered before the concert by local specialist Italian importers Ely Wine. 
 
Entry is free, with a suggested minimum donation of £10 per person. Proceeds will be split evenly between St Etheldreda’s and the DEC Ukraine humanitarian appeal.
 
If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation to www.dec.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal

Last Saturday was another busy and joyful gardening party. We were blessed with beautiful weather and worked hard to weed and fertilize the garden soil. Thank you very much to all who came or supported us in other ways. The cakes were delicious, we had a selection of coffee cake, lemon drizzle cake and plum cake!  There is still more to be done and we hope to have one more Saturday in November for the gardening party, weather permitting. We will advertise the date when it is confirmed.  Come and join us next time!

Stella received the Etheldreda Medal from the Bishop of Ely on Saturday 15th October. On Sunday there was cake and bubbles after the 11.00 Mass.
