I've not enjoyed the taste of the communion wine for a long while now, and today had a particularly strong reaction to it, with a horrible taste in my mouth for hours afterwards. Perhaps God won't mind too much if I take communion in only one kind from now on - after all he didn't appear to mind too much when swine flu was around.
The music today, however, sounded particularly fine, with confident leads and sustained phrasing. It must have been the influence of our new soprano, who has cheered us all up by her presence. During the administration, we sang 'Wachet Auf' (Bach) in harmony, a capella; the middle verse sung by the sopranos with ATB humming.
Today is the last day of singing surrounded by 50+ Christmas Trees, all lit up and twinkling, as the town's Christmas Tree Festival comes to an end. I fear the 3rd Sunday of Advent may appear rather dull by comparison.
