Music Ministry

 

Our creative music is one of the most active areas in our church.
There is a place for you! Little children through elderly adults bring their talents in the Lord's service here.
Come and join us!

Glorifying God
Using your talents
Ministering to people
Being part of a team
Changing lives

 
The music ministry here at St.Mary's is used to create a glorious atmosphere of celebration and praise. Our goal is to lift up the name of the Lord in song, music, and drama.


The Church Choir

   
St. Mary's Choir
St.Mary's Choir consists of around 10 juniors aged between 7 and 16 and around 15 adults. The main purpose of the choir is to lead the congregation of St.Mary's in the worship of God, according to the traditions of the Church of England. The juniors are trained to a high standard of musicianship whilst working as a team. We aim to be a friendly, caring organisation that works hard to instil a sense of belonging, whilst producing high standards of which members can be proud.
The choir is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music and choristers are entered into their training scheme, which provides individual teaching in music and the Church of England.The training instils a sense of spirituality and discipline and also develops the self confidence of youngsters, which will be of great benefit to them in higher education and in later life. In return, we ask that choristers regularly attend choir rehearsals in church on Thursdays between 6.30pm and 8pm and church on Sundays between 9.45am and 11.30am. Choristers are sometimes invited to sing at weddings on Saturdays and at a few special services. Notice will be given about these and choristers will often be paid a fee. The choirmaster is a qualified and experienced teacher who has a degree in music and education. There are also four other qualified and experienced teachers in the choir. All activities are carried out within the same strict educational guidelines as govern the state education system.
