Choir
The choir helps to lead worship on Sunday and performs anthems from September to May. The repertoire covers a wide range of musical styles, from composers old and new, and the music has something to offer everyone.
No formal singing training is required and an ability to read music is not essential; all you need is enthusiasm and a willingness to share the joy and fellowship of singing in a group. Choir practices are on Thursday evenings, from 7:30pm in the Small Hall. If you’d like more information, please contact Rhona McNeil.

We meet at 12 noon for tea/ coffee and home baking. Meeting itself starts and 1.00pm-2.00pm. Meetings include handouts with printed prayers and responses around the theme. There are also quiet times for personal spoken or silent prayers. There is a Prayer Box in the corridor where prayers can be posted.
