FinalWill you come and follow me

As the last Sunday before Lent this was the last Sunday, this year, we will be using the MacMillan setting. My impression is that the congregation is engaging with them - i.e. showing an a willingness to participate I am not sure they are singing with confidence yet. That may sound faint but I think it's a good start.

Awake, thou wintry earth was chosen as pre-Lent fanfare - though the wintry earth was still very present.

An added note of the explanation for the Congregation - if they noticed - the choir were a little tired today due to having been part of the College Choir sing at 6 Graduations in the Chapel on Saturday!
