Morning Prayer (known also as Matins) is one of the two daily services in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, compiled from the ancient Monastic Offices in the 16th century at the Reformation. It starts with prayers of penitence, and is followed by a Psalm, two readings (traditionally called ‘Lessons’) from Scripture, Canticles (musical settings of sacred words or texts from Scripture), the Apostles’ Creed (a brief statement of the Christian faith) and set prayers. In the Anglican tradition, we also have a Sermon, an Anthem sung by the choir, we sing hymns, and there are further prayers. Parts of the service are sung to formal settings by the choir. As one of the main Sunday Services offered at Holy Trinity, it is always followed by a shortened service of Holy Communion.
Always followed by a shortened service of Holy Communion. Not Choral during August or immediately after Christmas / Easter.
