Sunday evening from 4pm to 5.30pm - so plenty of time for tea, last minute homework and bath etc afterwards!

Gospel Bell came to Sibford at the end of May and 35 of us thoroughly enjoyed their wonderful music, their zip and zing, and the chance to sing all sorts of Gospel Choruses. We had a splendid afternoon tea, and sent £150 to Christian Aid for work with flood victims in India and Bangladesh. If YOU didn’t hear Gospel Bell this time watch out for when we invite them again – they are terrific!
