Choir resources

This page contains the introits and hymns for upcoming services (with links to YouTube videos for each item) and practice resources for future introits, anthems, etc. And underneath the ‘Key Dates’ section is a diagram showing the standard chancel layout for the choir on Sunday mornings.
