Choir
Every Sunday the choir has continued to contribute to Sunday morning worship by singing an introit and leading hymns.
During the past year we have continued to meet for Friday evening practices as and when required. We are, as ever, in need of more male singers. However, we do appreciate the kind words of encouragement and support which we receive as we endeavour to play our part within our church family and for our Lord
Christmas Concert by Celtic Voices in aid of Children's Hospice South West on Saturday 15th December 7.30pm. Amy Cole of BBC Spotlight Team will be in the chair.
A collection taken up at the end of
the concert raised almost £1,000 for ellie's haven at Looe,
a holiday haven for children with life limiting conditions and
long term illnesses, 24th Nov 2007.
The church was packed out as the choir and special guest
soloists Helen Palmer on violin and our own Kenneth Pethick on
the organ delighted the audience with a variety of music.
Helen played John Ireland's Berceuse, Vivaldi's Allegro, Chanson
de Matin by Elgar and Bohm's Bolero. While Ken played the
Radtzky March by Strauss.
Roger Partridge as Chairman kept
everyone laughing as he told jokes (many about Methodist
Ministers!) and short stories.
Some of the music sung by the choir were excerpts from The Sound
of Music and Les Miserables, Something Special, He's my Saviour,
Ol' Man River, Amazing Love and You'll Never Walk Alone.
The Proms commenced with Ken playing Pomp & Circumstance and the
Military March No 1 (Land of Hope and Glory) with the
audience taking part cheering, bobbing and waving their flags
(supplied at the door) and ending with everyone singing
Jerusalem!
