New Setting
As of this Sunday we will “trial” a new setting for the Eucharist. Music will be provided for those who can read it. It is a very catchy setting, which will be very easily learned over the next couple of weeks. Good luck.

As I intimated in this week’s online notices we will be trialing a new setting for the eucharist as of today – Sunday 30 August. I have produced sheets with the melody line printed on them. For those of you who do not read music I append links below, which you can listen to at your leisure.
Happy singing! Drew.
Glory to God:
Holy, holy, holy:
Lamb of God:
