was the name of the Christmas Eve
service at Duffs United Church.
If one were to promise angels
and heavenly music that night then
people came to the right place, for
upon entering the church one was
greeted by a young couple holding
their little angel. The choir loft
hosted angels singing several songs

piano and violin, all playing the
songs that touch our hearts at this
time of the year. There was a

expressions of sadness, perhaps
remembering a more joyous
Christmas in the past.
It was all there, the feelings, the
music, the singing, the wonderment
