Music for Sunday 1 May 2011

This week the parish is having a combined service at St George's, Reservoir. To make things interesting, there's to be a baptism as well.

Readings for Sunday are linked from here.  The psalm will be said.

The service setting will be Philip Mathias's Christ Church Mass (Together in Song, 757).

Hymns are as follows:

Introit: Christ the Lord is risen today [370]
Sequence: The strife is past [367]
Offertory: Easter glory fills the sky [388]
Communion: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing [387]
Recessional: Lord God of hosts, within whose hand [tune: Melita, 138]

The choir will be in recess for this week and next week.  Everybody has done such a lot of singing over the last couple of weeks: the break is very well-deserved!  I'm also taking a couple of week's break from parish activities.
