The sequence of readings, poetry and music will be based on the Passion narrative from St Mark's Gospel, interspersed with traditional Passiontide congregational hymns as well as anthems by Gibbons and contemporary composers such as Philip Moore and Bob Chilcott. There is also a beautiful and original choral arrangement of "Were you there" and excepts from Handel's Messiah and Brahms’ Requiem.
No admission charge
There will be a retiring collection, and all donations on the evening will be given to the charity Aid to the Church in Need, a charity that supports persecuted Christians globally, targeting aid in what actual local sufferers permanently “on the ground” identify as the most effective way.
