Choir
Palmerston Place Church has a long tradition of choral music. The current choir numbers 19 regular singers, who range in age from 20s to 70s.
The choir plays an important part in the worship at many Sunday morning services, its thoughtful singing enriching the services and helping those present to focus on God and His goodness. As well as leading the congregation’s singing and helping the congregation to learn new songs, the choir usually sings an introit at the start and an anthem towards the middle of the service. The choice of music varies from the traditional to the modern, with old favourites featuring alongside newer pieces.
Practices are held on Sunday mornings at 9.50am when the choir is singing (usually once a month plus special occasions), and on the preceding Thursday evening at 7.30pm. We also meet for a few extra Thursday evenings before special occasions. New members are made most welcome. You don’t need to read music to join (since we’ll be glad to help you learn!): just an ability to sing and a desire to use your musical gifts to bring glory to God.
There are occasional opportunities for singers in the congregation to augment the choir for special services, such as the “Nine Lessons and Carols” service at Christmas.
