The St Anne’s Cathedral Choir will sing Evensong in Holy Trinity Parish Church, Woodburn, Carrickfergus, on Sunday January 10 at 6pm.

The choir, which will also sing Evensong in the Cathedral at 3.30pm that day, has been invited by the rector of Woodburn, the Rev Dr Alan McCann who said there had never been a service of choral evensong in Holy Trinity before.

“We have many people from all sorts of musical backgrounds and people who have never experienced worship in this form before,” said Alan.  “We wanted to support and encourage the work of the Dean and St Anne’s in reaching out to the community in Belfast though the choir school programme.”

Alan said this was an opportunity to come together and worship God through music. “Further, we see it as a means to reach out to some people in our own community of Woodburn Parish who appreciate this form of music and worship and whom we are seeking to reach with the good news of Christ.”

Alan concluded that this was ‘an opportunity to broaden the musical horizons of the people of Holy Trinity to the richness and depth of worship that exists across our diocese.’
