World Day of Prayer Centennial wall hanging

It is planned to make a wall hanging made up of individual squares sewn together to celebrate the World Day of Prayer centenary in 2027. Each square will represent a country which has been, or will be, the focus of a World Day of Prayer service. If you enjoy crafts you are invited to make a square to represent a country of your choice. There will be a preliminary meeting at 2pm on Saturday 20th June for anyone who would like to make a square and is free to attend. Packs will be available and some materials, fabric, ribbon, threads etc you can use. You can reserve the country of your choice and use the meeting to plan, or start to make, your square. The meeting will be held in the back hall of Alma Church, Alma Road BS8 2ES. 

You can make a square without attending the meeting.    Ask Wendy Hopkins (wendyhopkins@blueyonder.co.uk) who  can get hold of a pack for you, with a blank square and instructions or  e-mail Sally Hogg (Alma Church)  at the e-address below and ask for a pack.  You can choose a country from the list included and then e-mail Sally on sjlh37@gmail.com to find out if it is available.

Giuseppe Verdi Requiem


This monumental rollercoaster work for chorus, soloists, and orchestra brings together vast forces in one of the most celebrated settings of the Requiem Mass ever composed. From the thunderous intensity and extreme drama of the Dies Iraeto the serene peace of Lacrimosa and the transcendent hope of the Libera me, Verdi’s masterpiece vividly portrays the full range of human emotion with unforgettable impact.

A star-studded line up of operatic soloists includes New Zealand-born soprano Marlena Devoe, and English National Opera mezzo soprano Samantha Price. They are joined celebrated tenor Gwyn Hughes Jones, who has sung leading roles at many of the world’s major opera houses, and bass Callum Thorpe, a soloist with Welsh National Opera and Glyndebourne.
