No ‘spoiler Saturday this week’ as we, and a few visiting singers sang at the Blessing of Marriage of Mr & Mrs Zenati

Gabi McInnes is Grandaughter of Harrison’s predecessor Graham as Director of Music and Organist. This made this occasion such an honour and a privilege!!!

Spoiler Saturday

We are singing:
- Let us with a gladsome mind (Monkland)
- Timeless Love we sing the story (c) Dudley-Smith (All Saints)
- Before the throne of God above
- Bread of Heaven on thee we feed

The Anthem from the choir is by Richard Farrant: Lord for thy tender mercies sake

Our Director of Music has been working very hard to choose the most appropriate music for the day. And has been working very hard with us to make our singing the best it can be! We try our best, and that’s all Harrison asks from us.

Happy St. Patricks Day

To mark this day, Here is a blessing, by Bob Chilcott
