Parnham Voices on Safari

 

Parnham Voices, the Beaminster based a capella choir, will be on safari on Saturday 1^st September 2018. Safari is a special event in the choir’s calendar, when the members come back together after the long summer break and visit four different churches during the day, giving short, informal concerts showcasing the choir’s large repertoire. There is no charge for admission, but a retiring collection will be made in aid of Julia’s House, the Dorset and Wiltshire based children’s hospice.

Parnham Voices is a small chamber choir formed in 2002, the singers coming from a wide area centred on Beaminster, Dorset. The choir sings all types of music - medieval to modern, sacred and secular - including masses and motets, anthems and folk songs, Victorian pieces and evergreens from the twenties and thirties. They have been invited to sing in many beautiful venues, including Bath Abbey, Sherborne Abbey and Barrington Court as well as performing in the Beaminster Festival in support of the well-respected Armonico Consort and as performers in their own right.

FOOD BANK

While the church is out of use, the box for any of your donations is in the porch of the Vicarage and it will be super if you can still provide the necessary things as you have been doing. During the winter months and at Christmas, it is as much needed as ever. I would remind you:

This provides a simple way of helping people who have fallen on hard times.

I would ask: Please ensure that your gifts are at least 6 months in date.

You do not have to be a church member to contribute!

The boxes are emptied regularly

and the contents given to the Wareham Food Bank.

The list of what is most appropriate is:

Tinned Soup Fruit Juice(carton) Pasta Sauces Baked Beans Rice/Sponge Pudding (Tinned)
