And then there was light

A big thankyou to everyone involved in ‘Let There Be Light’!

It was wonderful to welcome over 650 people into the church following on from the Christmas lights switch on in Ramsgate town centre. At the opening night of the 1st Ramsgate Lumiere we celebrated the end of Year 2 of Project 200, our 5 year regeneration project at St George’s, generously funded by Canterbury Diocese. The Community Soup team served mince pies, mulled cider and mulled wine and their delicious soup and thanks to the generosity of visitors on the night we gathered a significant sum in donations towards the emergency repair on the Vestry roof.

GB Carnival and Samba Ya Wantsum, Gaddzukes, Thanet Festival Choir and Soul Choir entertained us in the church. With lighting outdoors and indoors by James Brown AV, and video projections by Lumen Studios the church was filled with light and festive joy. See the galleries below for some fantastic photos taken on the night. Some videos which really capture the atmosphere are up on our Instagram.
