This service was prepared by our organist John Silverton, and was in a more ‘traditional’ style than we are generally used to at Tapton! It featured the 1662 version of the Lord’s Prayer and some call and response elements in the service. There was an excellent range of hymns, all with an advent theme, and the readings were Isaiah 40: 1-11, Romans 13: 8-End, and Mark 1: 1-15.
A very helpful handbook was prepared to take us through all the different elements.
There was a choral prelude, ‘Now come, thou Saviour of the gentiles’ by J.S.Bach. The organ voluntary was ‘Sleepers wake, a voice is calling’ by J.S. Bach.
Our thanks to John for all his hard work in preparing this service which was certainly appreciated.
