Monday Night Feast Night

Monday, this coming Monday, is a Festival. To be precise it is the Feast of the Apostle Bartholomew.

We try to mark the feast days of apostles and others with a Eucharist. They take place at different times and on differening days of the week to ensure that as many people as possible get to come sometime.

This Monday the service will be at 7.30 pm and we will be singing a simple plainsong setting.

Why plainsong?  Because it is an utterly lovely thing to do. Utterly lovely is what some of the Festivals are all about and that is what is on offer to celebrate Bartholomew on Monday.

All Welcome.

  1. And whilst I’m on the subject, St Andrew’s Day will be kept at St Mary’s in appropriately glorious style on St Andrew’s Day, which this year is 1 December 2008.

    As I said last year.

    Reasons above.

    No arguing.

    Flirting optional.

  2. In all Kalendars, Calendars, etc. St Andrew can never take precendence over Advent 1.

    Now who is for Christmas Day always being on a Sunday? 😉

  3. Stewart, Christmas day being on a sunday would lead to less days off for certain people so I’m against it.

  4. Just noted that your current sponsored ads, Kelvin, include “Masonic Gifts” and “Catholic Feast Days”. Catholic Feast Days I can understand being suggested by your post’s content, but Masonic Gifts?

  5. Hi Kelvin! Speaking of celebrations…How do you feel about letting me mention the BIG JIG ceilidh? It’s on Friday 10th October in Destiny Church in Shawlands. Details are at http://www.thejiggers.co.uk/bigjig

    I know how much people at St Mary’s like a good ceilidh, so would like to extend the invite to you and your congregation. It promises to be a great night.

    (PS I realise you’re moderating comments now, which is why I’ve posted: if this is too much O.T. feel free not to post it, but the invite still stands obviously! It’s not a “church” ceilidh, just a general “anyone and everyone” gig.)

    All the best
    Greg

  6. (oops, not so moderated, then…)
