A POWERFUL musical event to celebrate Advent Sunday is being held at Huddersfield Parish Church.

The festive event, on December 02, promises to be an atmospheric and moving experience, with music being performed by the church’s choir.

Performances will include renditions of The Lamb, Greater Love Hath No Man and Britten’s As Dew in Aprille.

The evening will also include a Service of Light, which reflects the journey of humanity.
