Christ Church Children’s Choir is open to all children, although most children are between the ages of 6-12.
The children regularly lead part of the worship within the services. The highlight of the annual calendar is over the Christmas period where the choir has the opportunity to be involved in the Christingle and Nativity services as well as the Carol Concert.
The music is very varied including modern worship songs and more traditional choral works sung during communion services.
We hope that the children will enjoy the music and being involved in this important part of our services.
If you have any queries or would like to join please speak to Linda Warner or contact the parish office.
