Come along it might do you good
According to the experts, it's healing us and improving our well being too.
Opera North, British Academy of Sound therapists and others have published results of their research on the positive effects of singing.
Of course those of us who sing and play already know it's good for us but anyway here's a short list of the good things we are told that an evening of singing at St Michael's offers
1. Makes you feel better by releasing the body's happy chemicals
2. Improves lung function by putting more oxygen in your blood
3. Helps you beat stress and relax
4. Improves your memory
5. Boosts your confidence
6. Gives you the opportunity to sing with others giving you a sense of belonging
7. Even helps with pain relief
Most importantly it's a lot of fun and is a fantastic start to your week.
So come and join us on the third Sunday of every month. The evening is led by our vicar Lissa Scott and our band which includes guitars, keyboard and drums. The Christian songs we sing are in modern musical styles including country, gentle rock and lovely ballads.
There really is something for everyone.
Food and drinks at 5.15pm and the singing starts at 6pm.
Our next Evening@StMichael's is on April 21st at St Michael’s in Heighington
Everyone is welcome.

Ancient churches such as St Michael’s, which dates from before the12th century, tend to be associated with solemn, traditional services but these evening services are very different.
The band includes, guitars, keyboard, drums and singers and its members range in ages from 8 to 82 years old. There really is something for everybody on offer, including a warm welcome with refreshments provided.
When everyone has had their fill and a good chat, the fun begins. Following a theme, introduced by Lissa, the band leads in the song part of the evening.
There is great joy to be had in singing together and the Christian songs chosen are always in a modern, contemporary style varying from gentle rock to country and ballads.
It truly is a friendly relaxing experience to take part in.
You are guaranteed to walk out feeling uplifted and all set for a great start to your week.
Why not come and join in - just for the fun of it.
