Our first Sunday back in service after a summer's reprieve. How good it feels to see everyone, to catch up on summer activities, to know everyone is doing well. I am excited to be making music together. Our first anthem, a setting of Amazing Grace interwoven with Pachelbel's Canon, is a familiar one and we brushed it off well. The introit and benediction are new, but not overly demanding.
How wonderful it is to process down the aisle, our choir robes flowing, our quilted stoles all neat and clean and in line with the altar coverings. What a joy to give a downbeat and hear this wash of sound roll over you. The choir sang the anthem very well. People resonated with the familiar music. Best of all, to worship with a community where you are accepted in well understood traditional ways with others you know.
It's nice to be back.
