Benefice Evening Praise Sunday 30 June at 6pm, St George’s Church, Dunster

For the first Benefice Service of this year, we hope to fill Dunster’s wonderful church with as many friends as possible from all the Benefice churches, and to, in Keith’s words, shake the church’s ancient fabrIc with the glory of many voices accompanied by the organ.

We want to invite each parish to  choose one favourite hymn and one reserve (in case of duplication – we want each parish to have one named hymn). Please let any of the benefice clergy know (Nicola, Nicola, Margaret or Kenneth) so that we can put together the order of service.

It is our hope, in addition to have enough experienced singers in all four parts (Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass) to prepare two short anthems (Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by J.S.Bach and With a voice of Singing by Martin Shaw). Organist Keith Jones will rehearse this joint choir, and rehearsals (over within the hour) will be held in St. Michael’s Church Alcombe on the following days:
Sunday May 19th at 4 pm.
Sunday June 23rd at 4 pm
Friday June 29th at 4 pm
On Sunday June 30th, the day of the Service there will be an obviously important rehearsal in St.George’s Church at 5 pm, immediately before Benefice Praise.
Those experienced singers wishing to sing in the choir are asked to let Keith Jones know by e-mail a.s.a.p. Indicating whether they are S, A, T or B, and their availability for the rehearsals at ksenoj40@gmail.com
please come along to this lovely service and meet others in the Grabbist Hill Benefice!

Many thanks – Rev Kenneth Cross
