Organ Recital with Andrew Kirk
Hymn Requests - Two to go!
I hope I’ve saved some of the best choices for last. Out of the 18 hymns I managed to record before lockdown, here is ‘Guide me O thou great redeemer’ to that great welsh tune Cwm Rhondda by John Hughes 1873-1932 and text by William Williams 1717-91.
I dedicate this hymn to the members of our congregation who have some welsh blood!

I'm Beth, Life Event Coordinator. Over the past few months, we have been busy with baptisms, weddings and funerals. From small wedding blessings with only a couple and a priest present to large affairs with over 300 guests we feel glad to have supported people during key moments in their lives. I've noticed that life event services need cooperation from the whole team at St. Mary's: Cleaners keeping the church spotless; Clergy and Vergers running a seamless service on the day; talented Musicians providing deeply moving music; the Events team rearranging schedules and tours to fit services in the diary; much admin preparation before the day; careful diligence from our Finance Manager to ensure every penny of donations are sent to families charity of choice. The love and care put in by the team here is apparent to me and hopefully reassures you that St. Mary's will be here for you in both the highlights and hard times that you face. Beth Herbert
