Sunday 1st October 9.15am: Chorister Come-and-Sing Experience for Harvest Sunday An opportunity for children aged 7 and above to sing with our choir, allowing your child to explore life as a chorister. Children should arrive at 9.15am for a short rehearsal where they will learn two choir songs. Families and children are then invited to attend the 10am Harvest Sunday Eucharist, and the children will rejoin the choir towards the end of the service to sing the new songs they have learned. Please spread the word. Parents should register their interest to attend with our Director of Music Richard at music@christchurch-southgate.org.
Sunday 1st October 10am: Harvest Sunday Eucharist We will be singing a new Congregational Mass setting for the 10am Eucharists throughout October and November. The setting is the St Helen’s Service by Joanne Forbes L’Estrange. You can view the music and listen to the Mass on the RSCM Shop website at: https://tinyurl.com/5ypcw2dh.
After the service we will be celebrating our new bees. We will have a talk from Youla, one of our beekeepers, there will be bee related products on sale and honey cake to eat, after which Father Chrichton will bless the bees. Please feel free to wear bee fancy dress. Fun for all.
