Dear Friends

The 120-piece All Souls Orchestra conducted by Michael Andrews and a special Coronation Prom Choir of 100s will lead the evening which will include:

  • William Walton’s ‘Orb and Sceptre’
  •  Elgar’s ‘Pomp and Circumstance March No.1’

Rico Tice, the man behind ‘Christianity Explored’ and ‘Hope Explored’, will be speaking about why Jesus is the King of King Charles, the King of all Kings, and the perfect King who we all need.  Rico is well known for his many years of clear, engaging and thought-provoking explanations of Christian faith to those who are unsure whether the faith of our grandparents has any relevance to us today.

This is an evening not to be missed – do come and join us.

Sincerely

Graham Burrows
