More good singing last Wednesday and really great to have such a good turn-out for our Badge Wednesday. A few new faces too - lovely to have you with us.
This coming week we will with luck complete Tuxedo Junction*, look at One Man’s Hands* (held over for couple of weeks now) and continue Call of Wisdom* along with Ego Sum Pauper, Go Placidly, This is Home and John Ball. Words attached where needed. (Words of those marked with * were attached either last week or the week before.) Please print them of yourselves if you possibly can.

Saturday 24 February A Concert for Child of Hope. From Joe Stone, curate of St Francis Church, Salisbury writes: Child of Hope runs schools in Eastern Uganda, providing free education, healthcare and welfare to kids from the poorest and most vulnerable families. The Concert for Hope is to raise funds to help furnish and equip two new sixth-form classrooms which Child of Hope are adding to their secondary school. The concert will be from 7:00-9:00pm. If you would like to support the concert, I am looking for donations for the tombola – unwanted Christmas gifts and other high-quality items welcome.
