A Carol Service for Epiphany
Sunday 19th January: 1800
On Sunday 19th January at 6pm, we shall be holding a special candlelit service to mark the season of Epiphany. The service is a sequence of music and readings devised by Stuart Robinson our Director of Music, and Canon Judy Anderson – one of our Licensed Lay Ministers. This service replaces our usual Choral Evensong on the third Sunday of the month.
The readings include the narrative from St Matthew’s Gospel which tells of the arrival of the wise men and Herod’s slaughter of the innocents. There is also poetry by TS Eliot and Godfrey Rust. The service includes seasonal music by Philip Stopford, Harold Darke and Stuart Robinson as well as popular Epiphany hymns including O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and As with gladness men of old.
