Singing at Bethlehem
Hymns and songs
Lutherans love singing hymns and songs to praise God and encourage one another. They treasure what Christians have sung over the centuries, as well as new hymns and songs that point to God and what he does for us.
By singing these hymns we proclaim God’s word and his goodness with our own mouths.
Choir
The choir is an integral part of the 9 am worship service. It is directed by Dr Warren Bourne, and practices are held on Wednesday evenings.
The choir plays a special role in supporting the congregation’s worship liturgy, particularly by marking the highlights of the Church year’s major festivals.
A special annual event which attracts many visitors is Lessons and Carols which takes place during Advent.
In 2008 the choir focussed on singing carols originating in Australia and New Zealand. In previous years, carols from various countries have been the focus for that year including carols originating in England, America, France and Germany.
