Long-Serving Chorister Receives Archbishop of Wales Award for Church Music

It was a special occasion at St John's Church, Sully, in De Morgannwg Ministry Area when Rev’d Lyndon presented chorister Jane Powell with the prestigious Archbishop of Wales Award for Church Music.

The award, bestowed by the Archbishop of Wales, recognises individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to church music and worship. Jane was honoured in recognition of her remarkable dedication and service to the musical life of the Church.

Jane's connection with St John's began when she joined the choir at the age of seven. Since then, she has remained a faithful and valued member, contributing her gifts and commitment to worship over many decades. Her lifelong devotion to church music has enriched countless services and special occasions, helping to lead and inspire worship within the parish community.

Presenting the award, Rev’d Lyndon paid tribute to Jane's exceptional dedication, noting the significant role she has played in the life of the church through her faithful service and commitment to excellence in worship.

Members of the congregation joined in congratulating Jane on receiving this well-deserved recognition. The award not only celebrates her musical contribution but also acknowledges the quiet faithfulness and service that have characterised her many years as a member of the choir.

We offer our warmest congratulations to Jane on receiving on this significant honour.
