Music is an integral part of our services and is used to enhance and uplift the spiritual themes of the services. We sing a range of music-including traditional and some modern hymns. All hymns are printed in our Order of Service Booklet. German hymns are normally taken from the Gesangbuch Der Evangelisch-reformierten Kirchen der deutschsprachigen Schweiz. French hymns are taken from Psaumes et Cantiques- hymn book of the Protestant Church in Canton Lausanne.
Music is mainly lead on the church’s Swiss-built Späth organ played by our Director of Music, Peter Yardley-Jones. Sometimes we will use our Steinway piano.
