You should discuss the Order of Service with our organist, Sally Drage (see below). She will provide a list of suitable hymns, together with the words as sung at Astbury, and also advise you on your choice of entrance and exit music. The Order of Service should be submitted to her and the Rector for approval before it is printed.
