Taizé Service

Sunday 24 November, 6pm

Please join us for a short, peaceful Taizé service.

The Taizé service is based around simple chants; you are free to join in or not, according to your preference, a very short reading, a prayer and a period of silent meditation.

This will be the first of what we hope will become a regular monthly meditation.

Sing out Sister – ‘The Greatest of These is Love’

The ever-popular Sing Out Sister Choir returns to St Andrew’s & St Cuthman’s Church on Saturday 7 September at 4:00pm for a musical celebration of love, including popular songs, jazz, and hits from the stage and movies. Christabel Cossins and the choir are joined by trumpeter, Rob Heasman and musicians for an afternoon dedicated to the theme of love.

Christabel writes: “In a world where turmoil often takes centre stage, this event aims to bring us back to the central command of love, through a selection of contemporary songs.  Join us for an afternoon of music celebrating love’s enduring power and its vital role in our lives.”

This is a free concert.  All are welcome.  The concert will last for about a hour and a half and will include refreshments. There will be an opportunity to make donations to St. Barnabas Hospice and Steyning Parish Church.

‘Cuth-bourne’ Festival?

On Saturday 22 June we had a remarkable opportunity in St Andrew’s & St Cuthman’s to hear a major concert by one of the country’s finest baroque music ensembles.

The Hanover Band played all six of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. The afternoon began with three concertos, Nos 1, 2 and 4. This was followed by a picnic with prosecco, wine or juice in the Vicarage Garden – echoes of Glyndebourne – before the early evening return to the church for concertos 5, 6 and 3 (finishing with the best known and most stirring of them all). The acoustics of our Norman building proved ideally suited to the instruments like the harpsichord, recorders and viola de gamba.

Many thanks to the Friends of Steyning Parish Church as well as our own volunteers for making this very special event possible.
