Stainer's Crucifixion - Palm Sunday 2013

 

There is something beautiful about the human voice. Even if you are not a fan of traditional choral music, the evening was a gift to anyone seeking quiet reflection on the wonder of God becoming man and taking our place in the supreme act of giving. The blend of voices, filling the historic building of St Mary's Long Crendon was a welcome preparation for the Easter weekend. 

This was a joint venture with a combined choir from the Church of St Mary the Virgin and Long Crendon Baptist Church,as well as singers from Nether Winchendon and Chearsley churches. The evening was rich in quality and all the greater knowing new friendships were formed as the churches rehearsed and sung together. With so much of Stainer's Crucifixion being lifted straight from the Bible, the evening was a spiritual exercise in hearing God's account of the things which indeed are the most beautiful to the human soul. 

The lovely stained glass window is in St Mary's church.

Getting ready!

 It's almost time to move out and leave the Chapel to the builders.  

A recent work party to collect and move the things that we'll need during the time we're out of the building, and pack those we won't need until we come back in 8 months time, seems to have been enjoyable, if cold.














Maybe the coffee and doughnuts helped!

Easter Sunday Services will be the last  in the building until December but we will be sharing news of everything that happens, plus photos of the building works, on this LCBC News blog.
