A programme of uplifting music around the themes of faith, hope and love, including a great variety of pieces from choir anthems (“Look at the world” by John Rutter), traditional spirituals (“Swing Low”), timeless pop classics (“One Love”, “All you need is Love”) and hymns. Presented by the Churches Together Choir, led by Richard Cottle.
Richard Cottle was born in Swansea and comes from a musical family. He plays the clarinet, saxophone and keyboards and after touring with the likes of Alan Parsons and David Bowie, and session work with everyone from Eric Clapton to Wham!, he made a decision to stay closer to home with his family here in Denham, continuing to write, produce and record music. Richard regularly leads the music at the Roman Catholic Church of the Most Holy Name in Denham and has an amazing gift of getting both professionals and amateurs to perform to the highest standards.
The Churches Together Choir with members from a variety of churches in the area, first performed at a concert for peace at The Hub (Goldhill Baptist Church) in Chalfont St Peter in July. It was so much fun that they decided to come together for another concert as part of St Mary’s Festival in September. Due to the death of HM the Queen, the concert has been postponed to 9 October, 4pm.
Sunday, October 9, 4pm
St Mary’s Church, Denham

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has written:
As a faithful Christian disciple, and also Supreme Governor of the Church of England, she lived out her faith every day of her life. Her trust in God and profound love for God was foundational in how she led her life – hour by hour, day by day.
In The Late Queen’s life, we saw what it means to receive the gift of life we have been given by God and – through patient, humble, selfless service – share it as a gift to others.
Creator of Heaven and Earth,
Through all our days you fashion us and by your grace we grow.
We thank you for all that was accomplished in your servant Elizabeth.
Throughout her life she glorified your name.
May that also be true for each of us and for our nation;
And may our dearly departed Queen rest in peace and rise in glory.
Amen.
A prayer for the new King
Everlasting God, we pray for our new King.
Bless his reign and the life of our nation.
Help us to work together
so that truth and justice, harmony and fairness
flourish among us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
