7:00 pm Choir Practice
St John's Choir members meet most Fridays in St John's Church from 7 to about 8pm to rehearse hymns and anthems for the following Sunday. For Holy Communion services the choir normally sings two hymns during communion, but occasionally sings an anthem instead of one of the hymns. New members in all voice parts (SATB) would be very welsome.
