Sing Hallelujah is a nationwide event which encourages people to find their voice and discover the joy of singing through Handel’s famous “Hallelujah Chorus”

At the 11am service the choir performed the chorus, led by Sandra Anderson who put a great deal of hard work into corralling (choralling?) the chorus into shape. Fiona Carlile accompanied splendidly on the organ.

Kenneth Anderson gave an informative and entertaining presentation on the life of Handel before the choir launched into the chorus. The congregation were encouraged to join in the singing a second time around.

Many thanks to all involved!
