What are the choir's
main duties? 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 at those same services
Sing Choral Evensong at 6.30pm on the second, third and fourth Sundays each month
NB.
Not all singers sing at all services! How
do I join? Use one of the following
methods: - Email James
Casselton, the choir director. (jcasselton@googlemail.com)
-
'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
- All are welcome - there
is no audition!
How
much commitment do I have to make? - 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
What
will joining the choir do for you? - 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 fulfillment in using your voice to enhance your own and
others' worship
