Carols by Candlelight
We will be running a choir again this year on 21st December at our 6pm service.  Please do return if you have sung before, and let Carol Bagshawe and Joe Clease know so they can get enough music folders ready.
There will be one practice beforehand, details to follow.  We will be singing very well known carols so you may hopefully already know your singing parts.
If you don’t know choir parts and want to join in then speak to Joe Clease and we can look into how you can learn your part.

Dear Lord: You are the God of hope. Fill us with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound in hope.
