The end of John 6. The Communion antiphons were first used 3 years ago as way of giving a thread through this min-season and we have continued ever since. They are one of the most obvious examples where the antiphon echoes the gospel and leads to communion. They have fulfilled one of their objectives which is that the singers should find them memorable and easy to pick up. Though I usually print either text or text and music in the service sheet this is not something which the congregation has picked up in a big way.

This week we had a reunion of 62-65 - who have been a number of times before. One asked if he could sing May the choirs of angels after the names of those who had died was read out as part of the intercessions. Though we had put the number on the hymn board there is not a good moment to announce it at this point - but people responded suggesting that the Song of Farewell is a piece of common repertoire across the country.
