COME AND SING IN OUR CHURCH CHOIR ~ We have vacancies in our church choir for sopranos, altos, tenors and basses! You may already sing in a choir, but if you like singing hymns and other sacred music you might like to join our church choir as well. Our Sunday services start at 10 am. We sing lots of favourite traditional hymns and some of the well established modern worship songs too. We have a sung setting for the Gloria, Sanctus, etc. We use three settings, and if there are sufficient in the choir, we sometimes sing a short anthem too. An ability to read music is not essential, though, if you read a little, it helps with learning new hymns and pieces. We have choir practice on Sunday mornings, before the 10 am Eucharist. We meet in church at 9.30 am and robe in cassock and surplice. Be part of something special to enhance our worship. You would be very welcome.I look forward to hearing from you.Gary Owen, ARCO, LLCM, LTCL Organist & Choirmaster
