Bartleet once again helped foster a sense of peace and wellbeing amongst the management and staff of the Bartleet Group with the holding of its Carol service.
It was held on 11 December at Park Street Mews amidst a gathering of its management, staff, creating an atmosphere of bonhomie and spreading the goodwill of the season.
The event was graced by the presence of Andrew Wommack Ministries, Europe CEO Will Graham and his wife Barbara Graham. The special Christmas message delivered by him was well received by the audience.
This renowned international speaker was hosted by the Chairman of Bartleet Eraj Wijesinghe who initiated the proceedings. In his welcome speech he stated, “This event epitomizes the thrust of Bartleet’s vision of creating a platform in which all members of our group of companies can come together as one family in mutual respect and understanding. It is also our prayer that our country learn to live in peace and harmony as reflected in the lyrics of the beautiful carols which we are about to hear.”
The ambience of the venue, created by the special seasonal lighting effects consisting of shimmering star like lights along the entrance to the venue was a beautiful vista.
The interior of the hall included a fitting backdrop for the St. Benedict’s College Choir, who performed an excellent rendition of nostalgic Christmas Carols and Songs with superb harmonizing and singing.
Rukshan Perera, well known for his jazz renditions, music composing and arrangements and back from the US gave an excellent performance to further enhance the enjoyment of the evening. Noeline Honter compered the service with grace and charm and drew the audience into the spirit of the season and kept them entertained throughout the evening.
