BBQ and Singing at Our Saviours, Knox

As part of the celebration of Senior’s Week, the annual BBQ and Singing luncheon was held at Our Saviour’s Knox on Wednesday 4th October. Over 80 people enjoyed a beautiful lunch and the wonderful singing of the Melbournaires Harmony Chorus. This all-male choir recently returned from a choral competition in New Zealand, where they won the Best Senior’s Chorus Award.

Pastor Peter opened the event with prayer and we sang the Table Grace by Brendan Scott. We enjoyed a range of songs from sacred to popular. Highlights included a rousing version the Liverpool Football Club theme song, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’; beautiful renditions of the Irish Blessing, ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘Let There be Peace On Earth’; the Maori love song ‘Pokerakare Ana’, and popular hits from Judy Garland, the Mills Brothers, the Hollies, the Mamas and the Papas, Crowded House, finishing with Queen’s, ‘A Crazy Little Thing Called Love’! Pastor Peter closed with a blessing, followed by the singing of ‘May the Feet of God Walk with You’.

Thanks again to the volunteers from Our Saviour’s and the Lions Club of Knox for their assistance, and their presentation of flowers to Judy Bowman to acknowledge all that she does to make these events happen. We are also very grateful for the generous support from Knox City Council, Chemist Warehouse and Knoxfield Bakery.
