Singing filled the air as Germiston residents celebrated the beginning of the festive season at Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebrskool Germiston\u2019s annual Carols by Glowstick, last Saturday.<\/p>\n

This year marked a new chapter for the event as the school joined forces with LamDel Residents Association, to make the event bigger and more community-orientated.<\/p>

The partnership brought many exciting new additions to the event including the inclusion of Afrikaans and English lyrics in each carol sang, and the involvement of a number of local churches.<\/p>\n

Some of the churches that took part in the event were the Dutch Reformed Church, No Limits Church and Members in Christ Church.<\/p>\n

Before the sun set and the entertainment began, guests could enjoy a selection of food at various food stalls, one run by the Germiston Rotary Anns and visit a number of other stalls, set-up inside the ground floor classrooms.<\/p>\n

The children were also treated to a visit from Father Christmas, who arrived in the Germiston Rotary Club\u2019s Santa Sleigh.<\/p>\n
