An invitation to sing

On Saturday 21st December at 6pm there will be a candlelit Carol Service in St Disen’s Church, this year including the superb organist Alex West and a choir of singers from across Bradninch. All are very welcome to this rather special Christmas service of readings and carols.

If you enjoy singing, you are warmly invited to join others from across the Bradninch community to augment the St Disen’s choir for this service. Led by Marion Brown, the choir will learn three beautiful carols to sing during the service, which will also include rousing congregational carols accompanied by the organ.

Rehearsals will take place on Sundays 1st, 8th & 15th December at 3.30-5pm in St Disen’s Church Hall, and also in St Disen’s Church on the afternoon of the service (Saturday 21st).

If you would like to participate, please call Marion  on 01392 881454 or marion@mjabrown.plus.com
