Paul Inwood – noted composer and Director of Music for the Portsmouth Diocese – will lead a day of music at St Joseph’s, Scarborough on Saturday 20th October, 11am – 4pm
!["photo of Father Stephen Maughan" /></p>
<p>The day will be a vibrant, varied and prayerful one which will cover many areas of musical church life, during which we will learn new music together and make a “joyful sound unto the Lord”!</p>
<p>The day is open to ANYONE and is aimed at encouraging confidence in singing in church – whether you are in a choir, a cantor, or simply enjoy singing.</p>
<p>Look for details on your parish notice board and in your newsletter and let your parish priest know if you would like to go.</p>
<p>The day promises to be a thoroughly enjoyable one and I encourage as many of you as possible to join us.</p>
<p>Keep singing!</p>
<pre>Fr Stephen Maughan, Diocesan Music Co-ordinator</pre>
