We celebrated Candlemas,the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, at our Family Service at 10 am. This was a lovely inspiring family service, Father Stephen began the service with a short explanation of the Feast, and the Sunday School members continued the theme with their presentation. The Children had prepared votive lights which they had individually decorated to be presented on the altar.They processed from the Tower vestry to the altar steps, each group giving a different short description of how Christ works as the light of the world. We were then treated to the Junior choristers, with soloist Hazel, accompanied by 3 members of the Adult Choir, and of course Joanna playing the piano, singing 'Lead me Lord' Everyone then returned to their seats and the intercessions were lead by Sunday School members.
After Communion the Choir, Junior and Senior together, sang the Nunc Dimittis in the setting in C major by Stanford. At the end of the Service Father Stephen blessed the Candles that will be used in the Church this year. There was coffee afterwards in the North transept.
