Choral Evensongs at St Michael's Church, Sunday 18th September

Sunday 18th September 2016 at 6pm

The second of our Choral Evensongs at St Michael’s Church takes place on Sunday 18th September, when the music will be led by the Octagon Singers from Ely Cathedral. Ely Cathedral Octagon Singers (ECOS) was founded in September 2006. Open to all singers aged 16 and over, it is a voluntary choir which complements the work of the Cathedral’s full-time choirs, singing on an occasional basis at Evensong, Sunday Eucharist, and many other special services in the Cathedral’s calendar. They will be conducted by Edmund Aldhouse (Assistant Organist of Ely Cathedral) who has been Director of ECOS since February 2015.

The canticles will be sung to the setting by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and anthem is a setting of words from St John’s Gospel, “I give you a new commandment”, music by Peter Nardone.

We welcome as our preacher, Reverend Canon Tim Alban Jones, Chaplain to the Bishop of Peterborough.
We invite you to join us for refreshments after the service, which starts at 6pm.

Gidding Village Produce Show 2016

The last couple of years have seen the Gidding Village Produce Show gradually grow (excuse the pun) and we hope that it will continue to do so this year.

This year’s Village Show is in August, and we hope that an earlier date will make it better for many flower and vegetable growers. There are a few changes to classes this year and the very successful barbeque and bar will be catering for all our needs as well as the much needed tea and cakes as we await the results.

Why not come along and spend an hour or two seeing the wide range of produce? Anyone can enter and all are very welcome.

N.B. Entries will not be accepted after midday

Public Viewing 3.00-4.OOpm

Presentation of Cups and Certificates 4.00pm followed by B.B.Q. and brown envelope raffle.

Location: Village Hall, Great Gidding

Date: Saturday 20th August 2016
