‘Dear all, We are very sorry to announce that the planned Come and Sing St John’s Passion event will not take place, due to lack of numbers and other unforeseen circumstances. Please DO NOT come to St Cross either tomorrow (30th March) or on Saturday 6th April.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused to anyone, but there’s really nothing we can do about this, and we do hope you might be able to come and sing in a potential future event. Please do continue to watch this space as this project may still be held later on in the year.’
