NEW GOSPEL CHOIR: Another exciting new venture following several requests from attendees at the monthly Hellingly Family Service (every fourth Sunday), is to start a Gospel Choir to sing at the Family service. This choir will be a separate group from the main choir, so please feel free to join up if you would like to have a go at Gospel music. The plan is to have a get together on the Saturday morning preceding the 4th Sunday Family service, so it will be a monthly event and should prove to be great fun for all concerned. There is no age limit on those who want to join, just an enthusiasm to take part. Full details from Peter (the organist) on 01323 833770.
