Reflections on the Choir Tour
choristers_stories_image

My son Alex and I spent the weekend in Ely, England with the choir and it was a wonderful experience. We were present for Evensong and the sung Eucharist when the choir's beloved voices filled the cathedral: it was magnificent. Prayers have been lifted in that place for 1,300 years and ours have joined them now in word and song.

Behind the scenes I enjoyed being with choir members and our Director of Music, Richard Webster. They are working very hard in daily rehearsal and performance, incorporating new music into their rigorous repertoire. They are also enjoying life together and impromptu games on the cathedral fields in the evenings. I am reminded once again of the intergenerational richness of our congregational life as children and adults live side by side and care for one another. I know you join me in being proud of the Trinity choir and give thanks to God for the many blessings they share.

—The Rev. Anne Bonnyman
