I'm going to try and publish these weekly now, ideally on Sunday evenings to give as much notice as possible! I'm also going to include services which I plan to attend, other than take part in, which may be of interest to all who read this, Rudgates & non-Rudgates alike.
Tuesday 24th October. 7pm. St. Mary's Church, Stockton-on-Tees
Ordination to the Priesthood of Deacon Ian Westby.
I don't know much more about this other than the date and time, but it's an event that's attracted my attention as I'm now involved musically/liturgically with the York Ordinariate Mission & Deacon Ian is a member of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, so this will be a big regional evemt.
Friday 27th October. 7pm. St Mary's Church, Bishophill Junior, York
Solemn Evensong according to the Customary of Our Lady of Walsingham.
The York Ordinariate Mission's weekly Evensong
Feria (Friday of Week 29 per annum)
Pss 126-131
Office Hymn : Fight the good fight (NEH 359 Tune: Duke Street)
Readings: Sir 11:2-20 Rev 9:13-21
Friday 27th October. 9pm. St Mary's Church, Bishophill Junior, York
Compline by Candlelight. (Roman Rite, Extraordinary Form)
Feria Sexta infra Hebdomadam XX post Octavam Pentecostes IV. Octobris ~ IV. classis
Psalms {from the Psalter for the day of the week} 76i; 76ii; 85. Antiphon: Voce mea
Office Hymn: Te Lucis (tune 3. Ferial)
Marian Antiphon. Salve Regina - simple tone.
Regular Compline attendees will (if they're observant!) begin to notice a shift towards this service being TOTALLY by Candlelight as opposed to the odd concession to electricity at various points in the church. :-) This will be even more apparent when the brand new candelabras arrive, possibly not in time for this service, but almost certainly in time for the first Friday of November when the clocks have gone back. These will be in addition to the extra floor standing candle holders which have just arrived!
The inspiration behind this move has been my research into how other venues have done this, particularly colleges in academic institutions, and I want to show that what we do in St. Mary's can be just as effective. What was always a special service at the end of the working week should be even more so once everything is in place!
Saturday 28th October. 10am. Ampleforth Abbey.
Choral Orthodox Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.
Music will be mainly in English, but will be translations of traditional Russian Orthodox choral music.
And finally: Last but not least!
Sunday 29th October. 6pm. St. Lawrence's Church, York.
Choral Evensong.
