Services and Music List January and February 2017 WELCOME And so it continued both day and night It is for many, a source of regret that as soon as the angels sing, ‘Glory to God in the highest’, the choir term ends and with it, Christmas. In fact the Christmas season ends on February 2, with the celebration of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, or Candlemas, and the themes of light from darkness, of God with us and the joy of sharing in the life of God are reflected in the liturgy and music of the season, together with a new understanding of what humanity’s new dignity means for all of us. We hope very much that you will join us when you can.
