It's the start of a new choir term and we are looking for new boy choristers to join the world-class Cathedral Choir. Do you know a boy aged 6-9 that loves to sing? Choristership is the best head start in life for any musical child.

Our choristers come from all walks of life: there is no choir school at Chester and the choristers are recruited from schools all over the city and surrounding area, and there are regular social trips and activities. Choristers are paid a bursary, receive individual singing lessons, and sing great music in the beautiful surroundings of the Cathedral. You can find out more about the choir and view our prospectus at https://chestercathedral.com/participate/choirs.

If you'd like to find out more about this opportunity, please fill out this form: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/7hYzfE3k9x.

Take a moment today to look around you.

Notice the trees. 🌳
Listen to the birds. 🐦
Feel the breeze.
Look at the flowers. 🌸
Watch the clouds pass overhead.

Creation has a wonderful way of reminding us to slow down.

“The heavens declare the glory of God.” – Psalm 19:1

What has caught your eye in God's creation this week? 🌿❤️
