Heather’s Hootenanny for Hope

Wednesday evening the sanctuary of Glen Morris United Church was filled with friends and supporters of Heather. We were treated to a wonderful hour of Christmas music performed by the Laurier Singers of Wilfred Laurier University.

They broke away from their usual repertoire to delight the audience with seasonal favourites and even a sing-along carol! Wee Mary Murdock presented Heather with her “birthday pennies” and asked that we “keep hope alive”. This year for her birthday, Mary asked her friends to bring a donation for Dr.Strong to her party instead of birthday gifts. She turned 4 at the end of November. A remarkable child, and so sweet!

The melodies were sublime and the refreshments provided afterwards were divine! Chocolate balls and sugar cookies and cider for all. Merry Christmas Dr.Strong-we’re sending you another $2500.00:) Sadly, no limobus this time!!!! Hahaha!

For music of a tuneful heart,

For sunlight that gives day its’ start

For friends and those we love so true

We raise our humble thanks to You.

For cookies and a cup of cheer

For Christmas mem’ries we hold dear

For stars that shine on earth so bright

We turn our hearts to You, our Light.

Merry Christmas to you!
