Choral Eucharist
Sunday, August 1, 2010
11:00am - Saint Thomas Church
Collect:
O Lord, we beseech thee, let thy continual pity cleanse and defend thy Church, and, because it cannot continue in safety without thy succor, preserve it evermore by thy help and goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one od, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 13)
The 11am Eucharist is typically the best-attended worship service at Saint Thomas each week. It is at this service that you not only will experience the full power of liturgy, music and preaching at Saint Thomas, but also will have the opportunity to meet many parishioners in the pews. Coffee hour and a guided tour follow the service. The bookstore, located on the first floor of the Parish House, is open following the service.
Choral Eucharist involves hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which is posted at the bottom of this page a few days prior to the date of the service.
We welcome this morning the participants in the 2010 Girl Chorister Course, which began at the choir school on Saturday, July 24. Last week, the girls sang at special summer Choral Evensongs on Tuesday and Thursday. You may read more about the Girls' Course on the choir school website.
