Readers Licencing Service - Newcastle Cathedral [14.00hrs] Saturday 6th October 2012
Once a year there is a special service at Newcastle
Cathedral to licence new Readers in the diocese. This year it will take place
at [14.00hrs] on Saturday 6th October. This service is 'light' and presided
over by the Bishop of Newcastle and organised by Sue Hart who is a member of
the Central Readers' Council - and a friend of mine. For the last 3 years she
has asked me to organise a choir - this has been great fun and the space is
superb to sing in. This year I would like Ed to direct us - and widen the
invitation to the whole choir. We will have access to the organ and organist -
but in previous years the hosts have really appreciated our acappella singing.
Last year we sang The Lord is my Shepherd by Goodall
(Vicar of Dibley theme tune - I asked and the cathedral paid for the music) as
well as other pieces we have done before. We will probably sing from the front
before the start for 5 - 10 minutes then, from the back, have 3 anthem slots
plus an Amen or similar at the end. All pieces will be our choice (subject to
very general suitability - Sue Hart is a real fan of our sound)
Lunch will be provided and I will negotiate a fee for the
choir which I suggest we split between Ed and our choir fund
Please let me know by email (rht@villagecourt.freeserve.co.uk)
if you would like to take part
