New Chairperson of Wisbech Churches Together

Matt McChery (Chairperson) and Keith Aplin (Vice-Chair)
Matt McChlery was duly elected as the new Chairperson of Wisbech Churches Together at the annual AGM on 17 June 2015. He is Director of Music and one of the Worship Leaders at The King’s Church, Wisbech as well as a teacher at Magdalene House Prep School. The former Chairperson, Keith Aplin stepped down after many years of dedicated service. We wish to say a heartfelt thank you to Keith for all that he has done for Churches Together as Chairperson. He made the decision to step down as the Wisbech Foodbank is demanding more of his time and attention.

Jacob Serenades After Hours


Accomplished violinist, Jacob Keet and friends played to an absolutely packed audience at After Hours Live in June. Jacob is an excellent violin player and is a member of the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra. He played several pieces, but he was not along. Indeed the night featured an array of talented singers and musicians from in and around the Wisbech area of all ages. These included: Thomas Clarkson Academy Srtings; The Wisbech Community Choir, The Wisbech Buskers, and Loc Mai and Gabriel Fitzsimmons on keyboard.

The evening too the audience on a musical journey from the Middle Ages up tot he present day, guiding the audience on a musical journey across Europe.

This was the first time After Hours Live had hosted an evening of classical music and based on its success, will definitely be having another one.

July sees 'The Ragtag Misfits' take to the After Hours Live stage at Octavia's Cafe in Wisbech. It is set to be a fun filled night so do please come and join us. Find out more on the After Hours Live website.

Quiet Space: The Greatness of God


Our new alternative worship evening 'Quiet Space' is taking off. The bi-monthly event saw an increase in numbers on Sunday, which was the second time the event had taken place. This month the focus was on the greatness of God and the prayer stations and guided meditation PowerPoint focused on this theme. Complete with soft, soothing music and mood lighting, Quiet Space is a wonderful opportunity to unplug from the rush and distractions of every-day life and reconnect once again to the source of life - God.

Our next alternative worship evening is a Taize service on Sunday 21st June, Church Rooms, Octaiva View, South Brink, Wisbech. The service begins at 19:30 and will last for an hour. It is open to all - you are more than welcome to attend.
