2025 MUSIC
At our Leavers' services this summer, we will be introducing one new hymn, and returning to some old favourites. Please use the resources below to practise, and to use them in your own collective worship.
You can download the lyrics, sheet music and backing track by clicking on the individual options. On the guidance sheet there are suggested online versions in case you are unfamiliar with any of the songs.

2025 Readings
2025 is a year of celebration of the Christian faith across Sussex. It marks the 950th anniversary of the formation of the Diocese of Chichester and Chichester Cathedral and 1700 years since the Nicene Creed first emerged.
This year we have a special poem instead of our usual dramatic reading in our Leavers' services. One school at each service will provide readers for the poem, but the whole congregation is invited to join in the responses. The poem has been written especially for us by Revd Laura Darrall and can be found here.
