The choir’s role is to lead the congregation in both the singing of hymns and in the sung parts of the 10am Eucharist. Each week, the choir sings a Communion Anthem to suit the theme of the day or the particular Sunday, with an Introit on Feast Days. The choir sings a full Choral Evensong usually on the fourth Sunday of each month at 5.15pm.
The Choir with Parish Priest & Director of Music after Nine Lessons & Carols Practices for the junior choristers and the full choir are both held in the church on Friday evenings, from 7.00pm onwards, along with a 9.30am practice on Sunday morning and at 4.00pm practice prior to evensong .

In the past, these have included summer barbecues, Christmas parties and days out spent visiting (and singing) in various churches in a selected area, along with other social lunches and evenings. The choir also takes part in the annual Dedham & Tey Deanery Choirs Festival, as well as the RSCM diocesan Choirs Festival held in either Brentwood or Chelmsford Cathedral.
