Wanted – Extra Singers for Special Christmas Choir
Saturday 16 December is the Little Gaddesden new format Christmas Carol Service and Christmas Celebration at 6pm in Little Gaddesden Village Church. We need extra singers to join our Special Christmas Choir, led by two professional musicians, both great organists and choir trainers.
Maybe you’re a bit rusty but please don’t worry, you’ll be welcome. If you have sung in a choir before and know whether you sing Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass, that would really help.
You’ll get the music and online recordings in advance so you can practice in your own time and you’ll get links to voice training sessions to get you back to your singing peak.
You’ll also need space in your diary to come to these rehearsals in church which will start promptly:
Sunday 26 November – 15.30-17.00 (including welcome & registration)
Sunday 3 December – 15.45-17.00
Sunday 10 December – 15.45-1700
Saturday 16 December – 16.30 for a run through and final briefing
Saturday 16 December, 18.00 – LG Special Christmas Service
Little Gaddesden Charities Fund
Established in 1997 (as a combination of a number of established local charities), the Little Gaddesden charities has supported individuals and families in Little Gaddesden Parish for 25 years.
The charities’ sole purpose is to help individuals or families resident in the parish with small one-off requests for financial support.
The committee are aware that local parishioners may or may not be aware of the charities and wish to promote the purpose to all residents.
Requests for support are made by, either contacting The Revd John Russell on 01442 214898 or by emailing vicar@littlegaddesdenchurch.org.uk. John chairs the charities’ small committee of trustees based on his role within the Parish; alternatively Pat Catchpole (01442 842544) as secretariat.
In such a period of financial uncertainty and with the cost of living crisis it is even more important to ensure that members of the Parish are aware of the support availability, and we would welcome being able to provide more support from funds available.
All requests are treated with the utmost confidence and no personal information is shared.
We would also welcome any local organisations providing information of how to access the charity in any wider communications they may undertake.
