Remembering Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second

All of us feel a deep sense of sorrow at the loss of Her Majesty the Queen. As the nation mourns, we pray for her family, especially for Charles as he becomes King. St. Peter’s Henfield will be open each day from 8am until 6pm for people to come, remember and pay their respects, light candles and to say a prayer. A book of condolence will be available for people to leave a message too.  St. Peter’s Woodmancote will also be open each day from 9am until 6pm up to and including the day before the late Queen’s funeral.  A book of condolence will be available there too.  On Sunday 11th September prayers for the late Queen, the King, the Royal family and our nation at all our regular services.  At 4pm on Sunday 11th,  the Vice Chairman of Henfield Parish Council will read the traditional Proclamation outside Henfield Hall, prayers will be said and the National anthem will be sung.

On Sunday 18th September services of Commemoration, Thanksgiving and Remembrance will be held as follows.

11.15am at St Giles’, Shermanbury.

4pm at St. Peter’s Woodmancote.

6pm at St. Peter’s Henfield. 

All are very welcome to join us.

May Her Majesty rest in the peace of the God in whom she had such an inspirational faith.  God save the King.

New Choirs at St. Peter’s Henfield from September

Does your child or teenager enjoy singing? Would they like to be involved in church music at St Peter’s Church Henfield, and sing at a Sunday morning service once a month?
A Children’s Choir (ages 8-11) will be starting on 13th September with rehearsals in St. Peter’s Church on Tuesdays from 4pm till 4.45, followed by a Youth Choir (ages 12-18) from 5pm till 6pm. We will be learning short choral pieces to sing at the 9.45 Family Communion service on the first Sunday of the month, starting on 2nd October.
A regular adult choir (over 18) will also be starting in September, with the aim initially of singing an anthem (a short choral piece of music) at the Sunday morning service on two Sundays a month. Rehearsals will be in St. Peter’s Church Henfield on Tuesdays, from 7pm-8.30pm with the option to go on a little longer when we are preparing for carol services or concerts. If you are interested, please email Sidonie Winter, Choir Director,  (Contact below) with your name and voice. You do not have to be able to read music (although it helps!) as part of the rehearsal will be learning your parts, nor do you have to be a church-goer, just willing to learn the ‘routine’ of a church service, and how the music fits in.
For more information , please contact Sidonie Winter, Choir Director, by email at sidonie.winter@live.co.uk or on 07973 315413.
