We welcome today the Choir of St. Chad’s College, Durham University, UK, who lead us in singing on this most special day of the Feast of Corpus Christi.

‚ñ∫Whether you attend the service in person or listen via the webcast, you might notice that the organ sounds unusual. That is because you are hearing a different organ! During the summer choir holiday, our main organ blower, which dates from 1913, is undergoing essential maintenance and restoration. The Rector’s April Chronicle describes this in more detail, as does the Rector’s Weekly Message. We are fortunate in having the Loening-Hancock organ on the gallery, and the Martha Dodge continuo organ in the choir to help lead our worship in the absence of the Arents Memorial Organ. But in order to provide accompaniments for some of the visiting choirs, we have moved the 3 manual Allen Electronic organ from the Choir School and placed it in the choir to be used when necessary. When you go up to receive communion, you will notice that there are several speakers visible in the choir stalls. Read more about the new organ project (and see photos of the removal of the organ blower) and please consider making a donation. ‚ñ∫Holy Communion is distributed today at the High Altar rail only, and not at the Chantry rail. If you (or someone you are with) are unable to navigate the stairs up to the high altar and need communion brought to you on the floor of the nave, do not hesitate to contact the Verger in advance.
