Church School Leaders' Conference

The music resources stand

I attended the Church Schools Leaders' Conference at The Belfry Hotel in Cambourne on Friday, 9 March 2012, running a small exhibition about music for schools. It was an interesting event with guest speakers and other advisers/groups present too.  It was good to catch up with teachers and clergy I knew and to show some of the many music resources that are available for Collective Worship etc in our primary schools today. Amongst other things I was able to recommend the Sing Up programme and music from a variety of publishing houses.

Lenten Music Pilgrimage No 2

Another pleasing response from musicians in terms of both numbers and goodwill tonight at Barrington Parish Church. Mary Stapleton and her "team" made us so welcome and took excellent care of us. Mary's spicy and warm homemade soup was a welcome addition to our Lenten fare and went down a treat on a cold night. We got some excellent discussion going on the Five Marks of Mission and enthusiastic singing of new music resources. My thanks to everyone who came along and made the evening so enjoyable and thought-provoking.

Three further evenings are planned in St Ives (14 March), Impington (22 March) and Bar Hill (28 March). Do join us if you can.
