In the Bleak Mid Winter

Carol Singing for Christian Aid

church 001

Several hardy souls from St. Columba’s and other Edinburgh Churches braved the icy conditions to sing carols at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning. Despite the cold, the singers were in fine voice and over £700 was raised for Christian Aid. A big thank you to everyone who took part and to anyone who put money in our buckets!
