The Barn Choir gave their 21st Summer Concert at St
Joseph’s Convent Chapel on 21st July 2008. The choir and guest guitarists
gave a superb performance under the direction of David Rudling.
The audience were entertained by an impressive blend of Folk songs, TV themes, classical and a medley from the musical Oliver. It was a delight and privilege to listen to three solo guitarists. Tom Emery, Karim Bedda, and Sam Brown, all three are very talented young men and all pupils, or previous pupils of the Regis school of Music in Bognor Regis. Admission and refreshments were free and the retiring collection together with a number of donations after the concert has resulted in £1,389.23 being raised for the Sisters Mission of Santa Rosa in Lima, Peru. The Sisters are thrilled with the amount raised and would like to thank all who made the event possible. Their heartfelt thanks go out to The Barn Choir, all those who helped serve, wash up after the refreshments, count the money and prepare the chapel for the service. The Barn Choir are always on the look out for new members and would like to urge everyone to cajole any musically inclined members of their families, or circle of friends to lend their voices to their fund raising efforts. They perform twice a year, at Christmas and July and rehearse monthly, usually the first Monday of the month. For further details please call Mr B Wood 07795 988114.

The Barn Choir gave their annual Christmas Concert on Tuesday 18 December 2007 in St Joseph's Convent Chapel. Nearly two hundred people joined the Sisters to listen to the Barn Choir Christmas Concert. The audience was captivated by the enthusiasm and energy of the Barn Choir as they performed a festive selection of traditional, classical and humorous music, under the direction of David Rudling. Admission and refreshments were free and the retiring collection together with a number of donations after the concert has resulted in the grand sum of £1,815.85 being raised for the Sisters Mission in Peru. The Sisters are delighted with the amount raised and would like to thank all who made the above possible. Their thanks go out to The Barn Choir, and all those who helped serve, wash up after the refreshments, count the money and helped prepare the chapel for services. |

We
had the pleasure of listening to a varied and entertaining repertoire
under the direction of David Rudling. It was a privilege to witness the
performance of guest artist Tom Emery. Tom is a very talented solo classical
guitarist and performed four classical pieces.
Our Mission in Lima celebrates 25 years of the presence
of the Littlehampton Franciscan Sisters among the people of Santa Rosa
on the Feast of Santa Rosa at the end of August 2007. We are therefore
delighted that £1,001 was raised here at The Barn Choir 20th Anniversary
Summer Concert. We thank all who have supported the work of the Sisters in this Mission during these years.

We
the Sisters are grateful to all who share our work and to those who direct
money to the fund, in memory of a loved one who has died. All of you share
in the prayers of the Sisters, and Masses are offered each month for all
our benefactors. |

What
is the Comedor? The Comedor is basically a canteen. It is an area where
food is cooked, en masse, for the community of Santa Rosa de Puente Piedra,
Lima Peru. |
