St John's Choir

"O be joyful in the Lord all ye lands; serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song"

The St. John’s Choir – adults and children - sings every Sunday at the 10am service. In term-time members of the Choir sing also at 6pm Choral Evensong, and often join with the choirs of other churches to sing in Joint Choral Evensongs.

The Choir always welcomes singers – young and old – to join this well-established choral tradition. There is no audition and no membership fee.

Children and adults in the Choir follow the RSCM Voice for Life Scheme and many children go on to receive National Awards (RSCM Gold Award).

Children singing in the Choir at the 10am Sunday service generally join with the other children for Children's Church.

The Choir rehearses every Thursday in the school term: children from age 7 upwards rehearse 6:30pm to 7:30pm, and adults rehearse Thursday 7pm to 8pm. Come along and have a go, any Thursday during school terms. You can contact the Choir Director, Elizabeth Trenchard, via office@stjohntheevangelistcambridge.org.

In addition to singing at Sunday services, the St John's Choir sings at weddings, RSCM choir festivals, and lots of Christmas Carol events (some even sung on punts!).

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

If you are planning your first visit to St John’s, welcome! We hope the information below will help you.

Our Sunday morning services begin at 10.00am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our welcoming team who will help you find somewhere to sit and will give you a service booklet and a hymn book. Please see our ‘Sunday services’ page for more details of services and times.
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the morning service and we hope very much that you will stay for a chat. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through powered double doors, and an accessible toilet. We have a small car park, and there is free parking on a Sunday in the surrounding streets. You may wish to arrive 10-15 minutes early if you need a parking space close to the church.

You can expect:
- A warm welcome, with everything you need to follow the service easily;
- Beautiful music in the English choral tradition at both Sunday services, led by the St John's choir and organist;
- A talk or sermon, usually focused on the readings we have heard;
- On Sunday and Wednesday mornings, tea or coffee afterwards and time to chat with others.

What about children?
We have a regular Children’s Church on Sunday mornings for 4-11 year-olds. The children learn about the same Bible readings we are hearing in church, with games, activities and prayers. We also have an All-Age service, where everybody worships together, on the first Sunday of each month. Find out more about Children's Ministry.
