Community Christmas Choir @ The Annunciation & St Cuthbert's 2026

 

Once again, this year, we want to invite enthusiastic singers to join in with our home-grown choir as part of our Christmas celebrations at The Annunciation, South Kenton, and St Cuthbert's, North Wembley. 

 

If you love singing carols and are happy to be part of a church service then we’d love to welcome you to be part of

the choir. Being able to read music is not essential. You also

don’t have to be a church goer. Our carol services are a real

community event and we’d love to make it special by having

a community choir for both of our churches. Dates are as follows:

Reminder: Choir Event Sundays 13th & 20th December:  3.00pm – 4.30pm pre performance run through and light refreshments. (here's hoping you can make both evenings.)

​

​We also have a general choir WhatsApp group and Soprano Alto Tenor & Bass WhatsApp groups that all the parts for learning are posted on so you can practice in the car/at home!

 

So if you can't make every rehearsal date you can still be rehearsing away from the group.

Please see below for detailed explanation of the event and rehearsals.

​

A carol service is a time when the church traditionally celebrates with the local community the story of Christ, God's son, being born to bring God into direct contact with his creation. Carols and readings from the bible (lessons) telling the story have been sung and recited down the decades going back to King Henry VIII's times. 

 

There are many people who, whether with a deep Christian conviction or a more casual link, enjoy engaging in this tradition and who want to share in the joy of the occasion. If you are one of those people and you love to sing then we'd love to share in this celebration in song with you. 

 

The plan is to keep it manageable, fun and inspiring. So we have one longer rehearsal planned for a Saturday and a handful of Tuesday evening rehearsals. (as above)

With one final rehearsal on the afternoon of the events, we should be ready for the big sing up!

If you can't make some of the rehearsals, don't worry, the WhatsApp group recordings should help. Just try to make the majority of the rehearsals. 

 

NB on the Saturday rehearsal there will be coffee and croissants first thing, comfort breaks with tea, coffee and water provided as well as a light buffet lunch to end our time together. Please bring a bottle of water with you to support all your hard work on the evening rehearsals.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
