The Big Hymn Sing
It is now over ten years since we had a ‘Songs of Praise’ event in Wroughton. Inspired by the Royal School of Church Music’s 2024 initiative, I am planning a hymn singing evening for Sunday 16th June at 6.00pm.
All welcome. John Henderson 01793 525856.
Come and Sing Fauré’s Requiem
Is being held at St Sampson’s Church, Cricklade on Saturday 6th July.
Rehearsals will be from 11am to 3.30pm with a performance at 4pm. It will be directed by Mark Lee, Director of Music, Bristol Cathedral. Cost is £20 to include score and light refreshments (not lunch). Some of our choir are intending to attend so some lift sharing may be possible. There is a poster in the porch giving full details. Janet Henderson.
CAR LIFTS
People in the church are very good at offering lifts for those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to get to church, but don’t usually offer or accept lifts with other drivers. Is there someone who lives near you that you could arrange to share the journey with, to avoid unnecessarily duplicating the drive?
