As I write, the first rehearsals of the new children's and youth choir at All Saints have just taken place. Stay tuned for more news about the progress of this exciting project! Over the coming weeks there will be a number of choristers graduating out of the WHITE level of the training program, so I expect to have the first round of fully-admitted choristers putting on robes in a few weeks.
The advent of a new ensemble means a bit of change to the existing choir's pattern. Weekly rehearsals have been held at St George's, Reservoir, since I arrived, but because the children are to be based at All Saints, all rehearsals are being consolidated there for the time being. People have been very gracious about a change that would have generated considerable perplexity only a few months ago.
In the meantime, things carry on much as usual, except that Sunday morning rehearsals will be at 0915 rather than 0930.
The readings for the week are linked

The psalm is set to be sung antiphonally, using Anglican Chant.
