Evergreen
Evergreen was formed 25 years ago as a means of bringing parishioners together for fellowship through music.
What we do:
• We organise music appreciation nights for parishioners to share a meal together, make friends, and be serenaded by our resident band
• We also organise visits to homes bringing love and joy through music and pilgrimages to various locations
• We aim to reassure those who have served the parish in their prime and let them know that they are not forgotten and that we value their presence by providing them with opportunities to mingle with others
• We hope our younger parishioners can learn from these pioneers’ vast knowledge and experiences
