Prayer for Ukraine

In our last rehearsal we sang this lovely song, one we know is loved by many Ukranians, and recorded it to show our support for the people of Ukraine.

Conducted (out of shot) by Jane Anderson-Brown.

Lord, oh the Great and Almighty, Protect our beloved Ukraine, Bless her with freedom and light Of your holy rays. With learning and knowledge enlighten Us, your children small, In love pure and everlasting Let us, oh Lord, grow. We pray, oh Lord Almighty, Protect our beloved Ukraine, Grant our people and country All your kindness and grace. Bless us with freedom, bless us with wisdom, Guide into kind world, Bless us, oh Lord, with good fortune For ever and evermore.

We are including it in our upcoming concert on 6th July, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi3wZp-y6H0

Christmas Lantern Parade

It’s that time of the year again. Do come and join us -we will be leaving from outside Marldon Primary School at 6.15pm then walking down through Marldon with Father Christmas to the Church House Inn, arriving at about 6.30pm. There we will join the Salvation Army singing carols while the children help Father Christmas turn on the lights on the Christmas tree.

Donation to Torbay Young Adult Carers

Each year we nominate a Charity to support with our Summer concert and this year the Torbay Young Adult Carers (TYAC) charity was chosen. This group helps young carers in Torbay to build confidence, and equip them with vital skills and resilience as well as giving them a much-deserved break from their responsibilities when possible.

This year we managed to raise £500 and were delighted to present a cheque to Cheryl and Ruth, representatives of TYAC at a recent rehearsal.

Marldon Apple Pie Fair

We had a great time singing at the Marldon Apple Pie Fair earlier this month, lots of favourite songs and led by our new Musical Director, Jane Anderson-Brown.

And we were delighted that lots of people stopped by our stall to have a chat, guess which apples had a bug, and hunt for hidden treasure.

Rehearsals have started again now – Marldon village hall on Mondays at 7.30pm, come and join us!
