What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Christmas Services

    Today, Christmas Eve, at 4 pm there’s a Christmas Crib Service for all ages – see the photograph below for a picture of last year’s crib service.
    Then at 6.30 pm there’s the Cathedral Carol Service featuring the full Cathedral Choir of trebles and adults.
    At 11.15 pm, midnight mass begins which will feature the Cathedral Choir singing Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit with small orchestra.
    On Christmas Day there will be a glorious Sung Eucharist at 10.30 am.

    I will be preaching the incarnation at both Midnight Mass and on Christmas Day.

    Thank you Kelvin. As preachers there is a danger that ‘we won’t be told’. This particular blog has allowed me to refer back to basics. It is deeply reassuring to know that preaching is not the work of genius, but the work of the Holy Spirit within us. Blessings Always.
