I love the month of November – the month of remembrance – of All Saints, All Souls, Remembrance Sunday; and culminating in Thanksgiving Day and Advent Sunday, with its solemn themes of judgement, heaven, and hell.

What a beautiful funeral liturgy we celebrated for Judy Hancock. I was delighted to see a lot of alumni present in-person, and several moved to the back row of the choir stalls to sing with the gentlemen of the choir at the interment of ashes.

What a concert we had on Thursday! The choir of men and boys were superb, and New York Baroque Incorporated, with their period instruments, brought such color and vitality to those two wonderful compositions of Vivaldi.

Last Sunday’s celebration of the Anniversary of the Dedication of the Church was very joyful, and I was delighted with our in-person attendance in the morning in particular

On Sunday, we keep the anniversary of the Feast of Dedication of Saint Thomas Church. Now, strictly speaking, it is not the actual date of the original dedication service

I have been asked where Governor Cox found the words of Charlie Kirk that he quoted in his recent speech that I repeated in my sermon on Holy Cross Day and in my weekly message of last week

The way that the dates of September fall this year means that we have a whole stream of feast days that we are keeping!

Last Sunday was a splendid day of music, preaching, and fellowship!

There was much excitement this week as the boys returned to the Choir School and we prepared to welcome new students

On Sunday August 25 we kept the Feast Day of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle. Bartholomew is named in the list of the Twelve in all three synoptic Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, but we know very little about him.
