Side_menu

Lead the hymns at the 10am services on the second, third and fourth Sundays of each month
Sing an anthem during Communion at the 10 am service
Sing Choral Evensong every Sunday at 6.30pm

How do I join?

Use one of the following methods:

Email James Casselton, the choir director, (or 'phone 07880 705795)
'Try out' the choir at any Thursday evening choir practice (7.30pm-9pm) in the church. You will be assured a warm welcome but no 'hard sell'!
Speak to any member of the choir or clergy at coffee in the church hall after the 10am service
Children from the age of 8 upwards are most welcome - practice for young choristers begins at 7pm with Voice for Life training before practising with the adults from 7.30-8.30pm
All are welcome - there is no audition!

Feel free to give as much/as little time to the choir as you have available
- as long as you feel that you can keep up!
Informing James of known absences in advance helps him to plan music
according to the number of singers available

As you would expect, the choir has its own social calendar
Singers of any ability can develop their musical knowledge and vocal skills by following the Royal School of Church Music's Voice for Life scheme
Personal and spiritual fulfilment in using your voice to enhance your own and others' worship

In June 2004 we hosted a visiting choir from Houston, Texas.
