Raise your Singing Voices!
Calling all Christians who want to sing for Christ this Advent and Christmas season.
We are looking for people to help us sing the Advent and Christmas message around the parishes of Clewer and Dedworth, at various venues over these seasonal periods. We will be learning new music and revisiting some old favourites. It’s not a posh choir just Christians who want to sing! All welcome. Just turn up and sing.
There will be singing practice sessions over a four week period during November in order to help get our voices, hearts and minds ready and inspired! Wednesday evenings:
5 November and 12 November – 8pm at All Saints
19 November and 26 November – 8pm at St Andrews
Advent study
Following in the footsteps of St Andrew and the disciples. The disciples spent time together before and after Jesus’ death and resurrection. We will be meeting together at church on Wednesday evenings during Advent. The topic will be based on our parish vision of Living, Loving and Learning and what it means for us to be called as disciples. Come and use this time to reflect on scripture, pray and discuss together in preparation for the Incarnation, so that can give the gift of ourselves more fully at Christmas.
3 December 7.30pm Session 1 – Living
10 December 7.30 Session 2 – Loving
17 December 7.30 Session 3 Learning
