Killermont Choir wishes a Happy New Year to everyone, friends and strangers. If you live in or near Bearsden and have made a New Year's Resolution to take up a new hobby - why not join Killermont Church Choir? Make good friends, have a good sing, learn new music, enjoy the best cuppa in the neighbourhood ...
The organist apologises - I haven't been posting my music in recent weeks. Christmas overtook me! Here's a quick listing:
Christmas Day : Mary had a baby (composed by Andrew Gant); Away in a manger (Richard Lloyd); and to finish with, Fantasia on Adeste Fideles, by G. Shaw.
Boxing Day : Bethlehem, by Gounod; Have yourself a merry little Christmas; and, to finish, Do they know it's Christmas? (You can tell it was all-age worship at Killermont on Boxing Day!)
Today, 2nd January : You can rely on me to take you to Vienna on the first Sunday of a New Year. Johann Strauss ruled okay, as you heard the Blue Danube Waltzes, the Tritsch Tratsch Polka, and the Radetzky March. During the offering, I played Howard Goodall's 'The Lord is my shepherd', the theme tune of the Vicar of Dibley. Did you see last night's special episode, in which they promoted Christian Aid's new campaign, Make Poverty History?
Like many congregations and faiths around the world, in our prayers we remembered those affected by the Tsunami. If you haven't made a donation yet, but would like to, try this website:
