This was the first time such an evening had been organised and it was extremely encouraging to see almost 700 people packing All Saints Church to capacity.

The whole event was characterised by a spirit of freedom and worship which was set by the choir and in which the congregation participated fully. Many of the people were visibly moved by the experience, especially some who had never attended All Saints Church before.

Mrs Wendy Morton, Co-Chairperson of Ballymena Borough Church Members Forum, who had organised the event, paid tribute to everyone who had supported it and made it such a success. She specially thanked Mrs Alyson Reid, the Director, and the Committee of Voice of Hope Choir as well as Fr P Delargy and the Parish Council of All Saints Roman Catholic Church for their willingness to co-operate in putting the event together and for the way in which they had so readily caught the vision for the whole concept of the evening.

At the end of the night, Elizabeth Pilson, representing Ballymena Borough Church Members Forum, presented Alyson Reid with a beautiful floral tribute and the congregation were invited to make a donation as they left the church.

These donations raised a total of £2000.00 which will be divided evenly between St Vincent de Paul and Tear Fund.
