Twenty-one singers turned out on a cold and wet December Sunday to present a special “Christmas Celebration in Word and Song” in St Giles Church, Graffham. It was a joyful event enjoyed by all and we have received high praise and thanks from the vicar, the Revd Vivien Turner, and from many of the 70-strong congregation. The traditional country style of the carols and readings was described as being “earthy” but succeeding in raising everyone’s spirits to the heavens and thereby encouraging some enthusiastic community singing! Thank you to everyone who participated.
Don’t forget that we will be meeting in the Chichester Inn in West Street, Chichester on Thursday night 20th December at 8.00pm. You are warmly encouraged to bring along instruments, your own favourite Christmas songs and poems, and be ready to perform your party pieces, as this will be less of a rehearsal and more of a Christmas Sing! See you there!
