Nearly a full choir for the morning service, but we still managed to sing 'The Call' by Lloyd quietly. Which was just as well as the descant in the middle verse was a rather gentle and lovely solo voice. There were lots of smiles as we processed out - to a choir and organist favourite, the Pomp and Circumstance March, by Elgar.

In the evening, the anthem (the same one as this morning) really was sung quietly - as there were only 13 in the choir! Most of the missing culprits were teenagers, who were obviously adopting a 'one out, all out' policy - probably busy texting each other on their mobiles saying 'I'm can't come tonight, so don't bother to turn out'.
We may sing ancient music, but our technology is modern.......
