The vicar and choirmaster were both away this week so we all had a jolly time making *cough* deliberate mistakes. Nothing went badly wrong, but it did make us appreciate how well things run most of the time. Even the tenor who tried to begin 'Ave Verum Corpus' in English (a sackable offence?!) at choir practice remembered his Latin in time for the service. A lighter moment was provided by one of the children who came to the front in her Emmaus disguise - a large red nose and pointy green hat. Of course, we all said we didn't recognise her :D
It was a very quiet Evensong, both in the choir and in the congregation. Not many of the older generation like to come out when it has been snowing. All the choir members sat on one side to sing 'Lead me Lord' (Wesley) - a sensible choice given the anticipated low numbers. It was also quite cosy sitting close together and made up for the chilly weather outside.
