by our communion with Christ
in his saving death and resurrection,
give us with all your saints the courage to conquer evil
and so to share the fruit of the tree of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God our redeemer,
whose Church was strengthened by the blood of your martyr Edmund:
so bind us, in life and death, to Christ’s sacrifice
that our lives, broken and offered with his,
may carry his death and proclaim his resurrection in the world;

Contact  Tim Parsons

Holy TrinityHoly Trinity Church


We currently have vacancies in most sections of the choir. Girl and boy choristers should be aged between eight and eighteen and although advantageous, previous musical experience is not essential as FREE full musical training is given.

 

We ask new choristers to start with a short trial period of just four sessions before making any commitment. This enables us to determine their suitability, but more importantly gives them a chance to see if the choir is for them. 

 

Our main rehearsals take place on Friday evenings at 6:15 pm for the Children and 7 pm for the men most weeks of the year. 

For further information on joining email tim@trinitybenefice.co.uk
