Easter and AGM

After what seems like a very long winter, it is wonderful to see signs of Spring again. We are delighted with the events in the diary in the coming months and we hope you can join us for all or some of them.

Pastor Karsten Møller Hansen from the Danish Church in London will be in Hull for the Easter service on Thursday the 17th April at 2pm. This is always a really lovely afternoon and there will be coffee / tea and cake served afterwards.

Our AGM will take place on Saturday the 26th April at 12.30pm, as we start by having lunch together. The meeting will start at 2pm. This is open to all and is a good way to find out how things are going at the church and how the money is spent, as Graham will talk us through the 2024 accounts.

We also elect members for the Church Council and the Social Fund, please consider becoming a member and have a say in how things are run. New members are always very welcome!

Proposals for inclusions in the agenda and nominations for membership of the Church Council must reach the church office not later than 14 days before the 26th April 2025.

Folk event and organ recital in May

On Saturday the 3rd of May we are excited to host a maritime Folk music event, featuring local musicians and the London Sea Shanty Collective, to raise funds for Sailor's Children's Society and for the church. It's going to be a great evening so please save the date, more info and how to purchase tickets coming soon.

It was a joy welcoming Philip Paul, organist at The Central Methodist Church in York, who asked if he was able to come and practice on our Frobenious organ built in 1963.

These organs built in Denmark are renowned for their beautiful tone and we are lucky to have had ours donated from Rind church in Herning, Jutland in 1994. The organ was restored, installed and tuned by Frobenius in 1995, when the church in Hull went through a big restoration.

Paul has agreed to do an organ recital for us together with our organist Michael Baron. The Royal College of Organists has declared 2025 'Play the Organ Year', a project to increase the number of people learning to play the organ, as well as enjoying live and recorded organ music.

We are very excited to invite you to join us for our first organ recital of the year on the 31st May 2025. More details to follow.
