Bublé and Bubbles Evening a Sparkling Success at Christ Church

Over 100 people filled Christ Church on Saturday evening for a truly special Bublé and Bubbles night — an evening of smooth tunes, candlelight, and community spirit.

Guests were treated to a wonderful atmosphere as the church was transformed with glowing candles and lanterns, creating the perfect setting for an evening of live music inspired by the timeless charm of Michael Bublé.

Seth McNamee, who headlined the evening, shared his appreciation after the event:

“Amazing evening @christchurchsb Bublé evening. Thanks to all who attended to make it an incredible evening. Thanks to the church for having me and the hard work they all put in to light up the church with candles and lanterns — it looked fab.”

The event was made possible thanks to the dedication of the organisers and volunteers who set up, decorated, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Their efforts helped create a warm and joyful atmosphere that everyone could enjoy.

With over a hundred smiling faces, sparkling drinks, and plenty of singing along, it was an unforgettable night that truly brought the community together.

A huge thank you to Seth and everyone involved in making the evening such a memorable success — we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Christ Church Honours Parish War Heroes

For many years, the names of these heroes have been inscribed on our memorial, a poignant reminder of the price paid for our freedom. Now, thanks to ongoing research and contributions from local families, we’ve added personal stories, service details, and photographs to accompany the names of the fallen.
