Today the death of one of our choristers was announced. It was a sad day.
Rather more children than normal came to the morning Eucharist, with the opportunity to present their harvest gifts. The music and liturgy were geared accordingly, with the choir singing Rutter's 'Look at the world', a pleasant enough part-unison, part-harmony ditty. I just wish everyone could agree on the penultimate interval at the end of each verse.
Instead of evensong there was a USPG service - a reading and hymn sandwich. Fortunately, we still had a psalm, sung by the choir (Psalm 121, Walford Davies). The choir were excused from sounding wobbly today, in the light of the above news. And, my goodness, the visiting preacher turned up, which made a change from last week!
