This coming Sunday morning, Christ Church will be abuzz with excitement as the members of Christ Church Choir, affectionately known as ChChCh (perhaps with a hint of cha-cha-cha), prepare themselves to showcase their musical talents in an informal concert. As the audience sips tea and coffee, it will eagerly await the commencement of the performance, looking forward to the enchanting melodies that will soon fill the sacred space.

The concert promises to be a 30-minute musical journey, an ideal follow-up to the spiritual nourishment of Mass. The potential playlist for the day will encompass a delightful blend of sacred and contemporary classics, including "Breath on Me, Breath of God," "Take O Take Me as I Am," Leonard Cohen's timeless "Hallelujah," the eternally inspiring "Amazing Grace," "Ave Verum," "Ubi Caritas," "If ye love me," "Cantique de Jean Racine," and "For the Beauty of the Earth." With such a varied selection, there will be something for everyone to savour.

The day won't conclude with the final note of the choir's performance. Following the concert, the Christ Church community will come together for a simple yet heartwarming lunch. Father Tom, a true Renaissance man, will kindly offer to whip up a delectable butternut squash soup, a perfect choice for a cosy gathering. In the spirit of unity and fellowship, volunteers will step up to ensure that everyone feels warmly welcomed and has a memorable experience. Some will greet the audience with warm smiles, others will distribute informative programme notes, and still others will serve lunch to the hungry souls who will work up an appetite while appreciating the choir's artistry.

Even the post-concert clean-up will be a collaborative effort, with willing hands coming together to wash dishes and tidy up the space. It will be a beautiful demonstration of community and camaraderie, where the notes of friendship will harmonise just as sweetly as the melodies that graced the church earlier.

As the sun dips lower in the sky and the afternoon draws to a close, the echoes of the choir's performance and the laughter of shared moments will linger in the hearts of all who attend. It will be a Sunday to remember, a day when music, spirituality, and togetherness will combine to create a symphony of joy at Christ Church.
