    The Church choir consists of between ten and twenty singers of varyig standard. It rehearses three times, and sings about once a month (on average) on a Sunday morning. The Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at Christmas is usually a high point of the year for the choir. We have also been known to sing at concerts at or away from Maisons-Laffitte. The choir always welcomes new singers. There is no audition and sight singing is not a requirement although much appreciated. We need however, a certain commitment to attend regularly. If you have sung in your church choir previously, or if you have always wanted to sing in one, we want to hear from you. Our guiding principle is the love of God and His great gift of Music. Rehersals are on Thursdays at 20h30 in the Church Hall. three times a month at 20h30 in churh. For more information please

    Bridging the gap

    Another group? No, a fellowship.

    This is a fellowship intended particularly for those of us who come to church on our own or as a couple without children

    Those who come to church as a family become part of a whole network of relationships through which they get to know one another at many levels. Those who are not part of the family network can all too easily feel that they are on the periphery. Church is community, and to bridge this gap we would like to develop the equivalent for those of us who come to church on our own or as a couple without children. Valid relationships do not spring up overnight. As a first step and to establish the groundwork, we invite you to an 'At Home' in Trinity Hall on every first Sunday in the month from 10 till 11. Please drop in for all or part of the time so that we can get to know one another better, share and put into practice Paul's recommendation to the Thessalonians to 'encourage one another, build one another up'.Details from Edith Briard

    Cameo (Come And Meet Every One) is an informal group of English-speaking ladies who meet monthly for a pot lunch at which there is a programme of speakers and exchange of information about people and the area
