Hey, it's good to be back again. And even the vicar looked relieved that he didn't have to sing solo from the chancel any more. We came back to discover the choirmaster is ill, which is rather a blow especially as we have to sing at the cathedral next week. Fortunately the vicar can conduct (quite a one-man-band, he is) so we had no excuse to be ragged.
Our first service back was a 'Songs of Praise' (ie. hymn sandwich, interspersed with a potted history) to celebrate 900 years of being a market town. It was a good way of getting our voices back in trim after the long break. There was also much admiration for a quilt which had been lovingly compiled for the occasion, to hang in the market hall. On Sunday, we had a gentle introduction to both morning Eucharist and Evensong, with 'Teach me O Lord' (Attwood) at both services.
