A very warm welcome to Sitso.....

.....who joined us on 10 May with a view to taking on the organist's role for the Poly Choir. It's going to be a little while before he rediscovers his old organist's toes, so he will slowly ease into Choir life. He might also pick up the baton occasionally, and may even sing tenor from time to time! Look after him with me!!! Welcome to you, Sitso; your first edition of UPDATE.

 

Prayers, please

Prayers for Terry F., please, that she makes a complete recovery - she now home and needing a lot of assistance. Also for John, Jane (as she continues with her treatment of, and operations on, her eyes), Terry J. and Mary & Frank Elliott.

Christine and Mary E. have both said they hope to be back with us soon and Kitty hopes to return in September. Veronica still intends to be back with us at some stage.
