Do join us at St. Clement`s Church this Holy Week for two very special Services.
Maundy Thursday – Sung Eucharist 29th March, 16.15 – 17.30
Leeds University Chamber Choir will sing:
`Vinea Mea Electa` by Francis Poulenc; as the Processional Introit:
`Man that is born of a woman` by Henry Purcell; in place of the Benedictus
`Adoramus Te` by Claudio Monteverdi; in place of the Agnus Dei
`Rest` by Ralph Vaughan Williams; as the Communion Anthem
`Abide with me` as the Recessional Anthem
The congregation will sing:
The Gloria, the Sanctus and the hymns: 19 `All my hope on God is founded`- Michael. 38 `An upper room did our Lord prepare`- O waly waly LM (arr. Richard Lloyd). 87 `Broken for me broken for you`- Flowing, Janet Lunt. 35 `A new commandment` (arr. Andrew Moore)
We will hear about:
the original `Passover` in Exodus 12. 1-14. Then in 1 Corinthians 11. 23-26, how Jesus transforms the Jewish `Passover` into the Christian Holy Communion, or Eucharist. Our Gospel reading: John 13. 1-17 & 31b-35, tells of Jesus, the servant king, washing His disciples` feet; and His giving of a new `Commandment, ‘That you love one another just as I have loved you‘.
Good Friday – A Watch Hour Service 30th March, 14.00 – 15.00
Timed to mark Jesus’ Last Hour on the Cross; it is a Service of Contemplation; interspersed and aided with; readings, reflections, stories of Jesus` Passion, hymns, and prayers. A perfect preparation for the joy of Easter.
