Join us on Sunday evening for our BCP Choral Evensong service.
St Andrew's Bredwardine welcomes allcomers to a Sung Coronation Evensong on Sunday May 8th, at 6.00 pm. The service follows Cranmer's 17th C Book of Common Prayer.
It includes congregational participation in Responses, Magnificat and Nunc Dimmittis. The sung Psalm is 31, 'In Thee, O Lord, have I put my trust'.
Hymns begin with Wesley father and son's appropriately titled 'Hereford', 'O Thou who camest from above', followed by Gloucester born Herbert Howell's, 'Michael', titled in memory of his son, 'All my hope on God is founded'. No Coronation service would be complete without Cecil Spring-Rice's 'I vow to thee My Country' sung to Holst's 'Planets' accompaniment. The final hymn is G H Bourne's glorious 'Lord Enthroned in Heavenly Splendour.
Tea, Cakes, coffee and chat to follow.
