Passion hymns, to me, never feel right in these Sundays where there is a prophecy of the Passion - important as they are as way markers in the gospel. The Cross is there in Praise to the Holiest and we sang verses to He became poor from Philippians 2.

Unaccompanied again so some close harmony. Otherwise our autumn repertoire started. Another priest, new to us, who preached one of the best short homilies I have heard in a while. He is a scripture scholar - but he gave some context for each readings, including the psalm (!) but also a thought for reflection/action.
