Good morning! Today we are celebrating the Day of Pentecost, when the personal presence of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, was released on the disciples who still held to Him and were waiting for His promise. Music accompanying today’s Liturgy of the Word includes hymns recorded in lockdown specially for today by choristers of St Michael’s, Highgate, in London and Croydon Minster, and a stirring organ voluntary from Old St Patrick’s Church in New Orleans.

The Liturgy of the Word, with the morning’s lessons read by David Suchet, a reflection by Rev Sydney Maitland, and music by choirs and musicians of the Oasis Chorale; Westminster Abbey and St John’s College, Cambridge; Christ Church in Harwichport, Massachussetts; and the Smarano Organ Academy in Trentino, Italy.

‘Joyfulness’is the theme of this morning’s worship: in the Lessons (which you can hear read by David Suchet); in Rev Sydney Maitland’s reflection; and in soaring hymns and organ music from Gloucester, Peterborough and Ripon Cathedrals, King’s College, Cambridge, and the Walloon Church, Amsterdam.
