The Church of St Peter Great Berkhamsted

Music list

Music in worship is an ancient tradition. Through congregational singing, Christians express their love for God, and our worship on Sundays is enhanced by our church choir. The beauty of hymns and anthems helps us to transcend the here and now and draw closer to God. 

Please note that all the music listed below is subject to change.
