We are a diverse bunch of singers and instrumentalists
ranging in age from 10 to…..well… retired, and in musical ability from
non-music readers to people with extensive musical experience. Despite all
our differences we really enjoy each other’s company and the chance to
learn and perform new music together.
Our
main focus is on introducing contemporary music to
the 9.45 am ‘Worship Now’ service, some of which we
will sing by ourselves and some, with the congregation.
There’s also always a topical "children’s song" which follows Story Time
which everybody joins in with. Normally there’ll be
anything between 10 and 20 singers, a couple of guitars, a keyboard and
when we’re lucky some drums.
We meet for an hour on a Thursday evening at 8pm and
then for a short 20-minute run through on Sunday before the service.
We are always keen to meet people who might be
interested in joining us. Philip our leader, recognises that most people
are unable to commit to coming every single Sunday (but the more the
better obviously!) If you want to find out more or want to come and have a
taster session just ask any of us on a Sunday or contact Philip by phone
on (0131)
445 1847 or
by
e-mail.
The Praise Group are restarting
Thursday rehearsals on 28th August at 8pm-9pm so if you enjoy singing ,
why not give it a try! We also meet on Sunday mornings at 9.15am for a
short rehearsal before the “Worship Now” service.
We hope that you have managed to get a
copy of the Praise group’s CD entitled “Come now is the time to worship”
priced £3. Copies and details from Kenneth Barlee who produced the
CD (contact via Church Office).
