We're back on home turf at last next Saturday, having been excluded ever since gales damaged the roof 18 months ago. Come and listen to a light and summery concert of celebration for our return whilst enjoying tea and cakes in the church. No charge to attend, but any donations for all the restoration work still required will be hugely gratefully received !

Come along to St Bartholomew's, Lower Basildon on Sunday 27th October for Choral Evensong. We're singing Dyson in D and the splendid Victorian harvest romp that is Barnby's "O Lord, how manifold are thy works". You will also hear a brilliant new work by Richard Harrison: "To this temple", which we are using as our introit. The service starts at 4pm and will be followed by refreshments.

What a great choral evensong ! It was obvious that the choir was having fun, especially in the Mathias, but there was real precision and subtlety too. Well done everyone. Looking forward to the next one on October 27th.
