CHRISTIAN AID WEEK There was a wonderful response from the benefice churches to the envelope collections, as well as our friends at the Methodists and St Mary’s, who between them gave £467 to support the work of Christian Aid.

The Rogation Walk on May 9th, beating the bounds of the parish, and calling at all the Newmarket churches on the way,  was greatly enjoyed by the participants. Donations from this when added to the envelope collections has allowed us to send £601.00. Thank you to everyone for working towards sending this donation to address people’s pressing needs.

John Rutter’s Psalmfest will be the major choral work; this is a collection of varied psalm settings showcasing the full range of John Rutter’s music, amply demonstrating why he is loved by choirs and audiences alike - you can expect beautiful melodies, joyful rhythms and dramatic climaxes. Psalmfest is accompanied by The Quintessential Ensemble, adding even more colour to this wonderful piece. The programme also includes three traditional Spirituals, arranged in very different styles for unaccompanied choir, culminating in a highly energetic version of the Battle of Jericho. In addition to instrumental items performed by The Quintessential Ensemble, the programme is completed by a performance of James Bassi’s Harpsonnets; as the name suggests, this is a setting of three sonnets by Shakespeare, accompanied by harp. Tickets: £20 (u18s free) Online or in Burwell at CentrePeace, PO & Tina's

They are happy to pick-up any donations if required, and they would also be grateful for any financial donations you care to make. Please contact Kerri Davies at 07597582546, or www.newmarketopendoor.org.uk if you have any questions.
