TWO sister churches hope their prayers for a new organist will be answered.

St David’s Church, Tudhoe, and St Bartholomew’s Church, Coxhoe, need to recruit a reliable organist to provide music at Sunday services along with some possible additional engagements. Standard fees will be paid and transport may be available.

Church leaders would like to find a director of music or organist to lead the musical witness in both churches but understand a full time commitment may not be possible.

They describe the congregations as lively and friendly, keen to explore a wealth of music both modern and conventional with a thriving Sunday school, known as messy church, and youth group.
