Community choir for Christmas
Have you ever fancied being part of a community choir? Might you enjoy belting out some songs with others? We probably won’t have TV’s Gareth Malone here to inspire and cajole, but if you’d like to join a special St Luke’s Community Choir to sing some carols this Christmas, you can register your interest now by phoning the church office 974 5024. No musical experience necessary. No scary auditions. No film crew. Rehearsals will take place in November and December. Dates will be announced in the autumn.
