Thank you for the Music at St George’s – an overdue thank you is needed to Shirley for all she does to keep our music liturgy so beautifully prepared every Sunday.  A particular highlight had to be last week when Shirley sang Ave Maria during communion, most moving and perfectly placed within our service.
