It is so hard to believe that our long post-Epiphany season is on the verge of coming to an end. It seemed nine Sundays after Epiphany was a long time... and yet here we are at the eighth Sunday after. Where did all that time go? I'm already looking ahead to Holy Week and Easter, musically.
Anyway, today's service was special because Bishop Curry was present to preside over the Celebration of a New Ministry. (Have a look at page 559 in the Book of Common Prayer for the liturgy we used today.) It was, indeed, a moving service.
Here is the music planned for today.
