📖 Chorister Catechism 🎵 Every week, our Choristers spend a little time learning about what they sing. Over the last two years, we've covered many topics - from the stories of the saints and the prayers of the Responses, to the Our Father and the Creed. This year, we are covering the Canticles: the many songs we find across the Bible.​After reading each Canticle, we ask the children to pick out phrases or words that stand out and, together, try to distill the core message. Every single week, they bring out something from the passage that we never anticipated when preparing the session, making deeply profound connections. They uncover connections we easily overlook with unusual clarity.​At a time when so little in the world and in the Church feels simple or easy, our children can gently guide us back to the heart of the Gospel.​No wonder Christ holds up these children as our example. In their humility, openness, clarity, and justice, they show us what unpretentious, unvarnished, unfazed faith looks like. “Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”May we all sing with the Spirit, and with that clarity of understanding. ...

🎶 What a start to the year! 🎵⛪ ​We are thrilled to share that more than 30 children now sing in our choirs! Every week after school, our young choristers are growing in confidence, developing their musical skills, exploring faith, and singing at a beautiful service of Evensong.✨ ​If you've been looking for an enriching, friendly, and fun extracurricular activity for your child - get in touch! And don't worry: choir will always be completely FREE.🎼 They’ll be taught to read music and sing with confidence. They'll learn how to work together, support others, and form lasting friendships. They'll find a warm, safe, supportive space in which to learn and thrive.📅 Choristers meet in smaller groups during the week, straight after school. Children in Y3-6 meet in Horbury on Wednesdays and in Horbury Bridge on Thursdays. Y7+ meet in Horbury on Fridays.🍝 All singers are also invited to join us on Sunday evenings for Evensong, followed by a delicious (free!) hot meal.🎙️ Choristers get to sing at bigger events every term, and go on choir trips.✉️ ​Interested? Drop us a message here, or email music@horburychurch.com to find out more and give your child the opportunity of a lifetime!(📸 Some of our Wednesday choristers were keen to show off their new scrunchies after Evensong.) ...

Welcome to the Parish of St Peter and St Leonard, Horbury, with St John, Horbury Bridge. We are a vibrant and living Christian community, part of the newly-formed Church of England Diocese of Leeds.

At the heart of our parish is the worship of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We express this in our daily life, which revolves around the recitation of the Daily Office (Morning and Evening Prayer) and the celebration of the Mass (Eucharist or Holy Communion). Our main Sunday services are at 9am at St John’s and 10.30am at St Peter’s, and we would love to see you there!

We seek to serve the people of Horbury with Horbury Bridge by welcoming children and adults into the Christian faith by baptism, blessing marriages, nurturing children in the faith, caring for those in particular need through our various groups and ministries, and burying the dead in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life.

We do this because of our belief that Jesus Christ is ‘The Way, the Truth and the Life’, and that our lives are best lived in a relationship with him through his church. Once you’ve had a look through these pages, why not drop in to one of our services or come to one of our activities or events. We look forward to getting to know you!
