Choir and Music Group
The music worship at St Andrews is led on the first and third
Sundays by our music group and on the second and fourth Sundays by the
choir.
The Choir. In
addition to singing at the main Christian festivals of Christmas and
Easter, the choir provides gentle acapella music whilst Holy Communion is being celebrated. About four times
a year Taize and Bereavement services are held and the choir make a
significant contribution to those services.
The choir enjoys singing from a wide range of musical styles,
including arrangements of contemporary worship songs and provides a
musical item usually once a month and at special services. We aim for
high standards musically whilst equally emphasising the importance of
singing that expresses heartfelt worship and love to God.
Christmas 2007, the choir was invited to entertain shoppers in
Barsley’s Department Store with a programme of Christmas music and in
July 2008 are planning an outdoor concert called ‘Melodies in the
Meadow.’
Choir practise takes place on Wednesdays from 7.30 to 8.30 pm and
new members are welcome. For more information contact: Victor Jordan

The Music Group is
made up of a small group of singers and musicians, and lead worship at
the morning service twice a month. These services are less formal and
lend themselves to more expressive contemporary worship songs. The music group meets fortnightly on Fridays from 7.45 p.m. The
music group has been invited to lead worship at other churches and
events. Both the choir and
music group seek to lead the congregation in worshipping God through the
Lord Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.
