Heavenly Father,

that when he shall appear in power and great glory
we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom;
where he is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Gracious Lord,
in this holy sacrament

bring us at the last
to that fullness of life for which we long;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Heavenly Lord,
you long for the world’s salvation:
stir us from apathy,
restrain us from excess
and revive in us new hope
that all creation will one day be healed
in Jesus Christ our Lord.

 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.
