We will be learning:-

Plus two very simple chants:-

Taizé Chant – Stay With Me
Calling all young people!!
Come along on Saturday 20th February to Llanyrafon and learn a fab new song for the occasion.
One of the hymns chosen for the Big Sing has eight verses. It is HP814 ‘For All the Saints’, a well-known hymn. What we would like is if each section could take one verse each of the hymn and then join in together for the last verse. It would be a good idea to practise your verse during the next few weeks, just to make sure it goes well. We have split the hymn as follows:-
Verse 1 – Abergavenny cluster
Verse 2 – Blackwood cluster
Verse 3 – Abersychan, Blaenavon and Cwm
Verse 4 – Pontypool cluster
Verse 5 – Ebbw Vale and Tredegar cluster
Verse 6 – Abertillery cluster
Verse 7 – Cwmbran cluster
Verse 8 – All together.
