Choir and music group
 |
Our combined adult and childrens' choirs help lead the worship every Sunday at the main morning service,
and work towards other special events. The childrens' practice is from 6.15-7.15pm on Fridays with additional training
for smaller groups after the main Sunday service. The adults practise from 7.30-9.30 on Fridays.

|
One regular special event is the Good Friday augmented choir, which welcomes temporary members to perform a devotional
work. In recent years we have enjoyed Stainer's "Crucifixion", Handel's "Messiah", and Bach's "Matthew Passion".

Additional musicians
(drummers, violinists, flautists, guitarists, solo voices...etc) regularly join the keyboard to help lead the
contemporary songs in our services.

Soul Conviction
In 2002 a Soul band was formed, initially as a combined social event and charitable fund-raiser.
A highly successful event, "Music 4 da Soul" was held in the church hall, and further gigs - both private and public - are
following. Look out for this band!
