Services and Music List March 2019 WELCOME The liturgical year gives us a burst of brightness in the transfigured face of Jesus: something to hold on to, as it were, throughout the forty days of Lent. Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, is for many the day of days for hearing Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere, which will be sung at both principal celebrations this year. As often happens, the starkness of Lent is punctuated by two of the great feasts of the year, St Joseph (19 March) and the Annunciation (25 March). Please do join us when you can. The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in this church if they so desire.
