RSCM Come and Sing Psalms
On Tuesday 27th January, over 50 choir members from across the area joined together at Aston Church of England Primary School to sing Psalms.
The Lectionary allocates Psalms for each service, but many churches are struggling to find suitable settings for a 21st Century Church. This was an evening to explore the repertoire as well as learn something of the biblical background and poetry of the Psalms. What do we lose as congregations if we don’t balance psalms of praise with psalms of lament. And indeed, how do we lament in a predominantly praising Church?
The evening was directed by Revd Helen Bent, Bishop’s Adviser in Music and Worship, Robert Webb, RSCM Sheffield & S. Yorks Education and Training Officer and Director of Music at St. John’s Ranmoor, Sheffield, Sarah Colver, Choir Director at Holy Trinity, Millhouses, and Paul Hudson, Choir Director at All Saints Aston.

Worship lies at the very heart of what it means to be Christian. Authentic worship converts and transforms us as individuals and as a community.
An encounter with God is not unusual. Again and again God takes the initiative and we find ourselves standing on holy ground. Inspiring worship draws people all by itself.
Workshops for everyone including a wide range of mission-shaped worship opportunities. Come to be enthused and equipped.
