St Michael & All Angels: Organ and Parish Rooms Appeal

Sponsored Organ Voluntaries
May and June 2012

Back to Organ and Parish Rooms Appeal page

Choirs and congregationFollowing the success of the Hymnathon at St Michael & All Angels (right), in which people sponsored their favourite hymns, we are now inviting members of the congregation and others to sponsor their favourite organ voluntary. The one that raises most money from sponsors, will be played at the last service before the old organ is removed - the Jubilee weekend family service on Sunday June 3rd. After that, we'll be without a main organ for a year. Full details in church, you can donate at: http://www.justgiving.com/sponsor-the-voluntary .

These are the four voluntaries to choose from, with links so you can hear them.
