Organist cover required
About two weeks ago our organist’s husband, Bill Sands, suffered a series of severe strokes. Recovery will take a long time and Jo Sands; our Organist has asked for Compassionate Leave of 3 months both to cope with Bill’s recovery but also to cope with the stress that has been placed on her.
This leaves us in a difficult position with Lent and Easter looming and I am reaching out to you to see if you are, in any way, able to help covering practices and services either yourself or by recommending anyone that I can approach. There is a fee of £45 per practice / service.
Choir practices are on Friday evenings from 7.15pm to 9.00pm and it would obviously be helpful, although not essential, if the person covering the Sundays could also cover the preceding Friday practice.
Services are on Sunday mornings at 10.30am with a short practice from 9.30am and evening services are at 6.30pm with a short practice at 5.15pm. This will change to 6.00pm with practice at 4.45pm from 30th March.
Where weekday services take place they usually begin at 7.00pm.
I am attaching the music scheme for the Lent Term and should be grateful if you would let me know if you are able to help with any of the occasions from 2nd March onwards.
If you think you could help, please contact Mike Donkin,
