On Tuesdays during advent (28th November, 5th, 12th and 19th December) at 9.00pm we are offering Compline, a short, quiet service taken from the ancient monastic tradition.
It is a very peaceful service of prayer and plainchant music, and offers a quiet and contemplative way to end the day.
We mark Remembrance Sunday as follows, honouring those who gave their lives for the freedom of others, and to pray for peace in our troubled world:
9.30am – Service of Remembrance at St Mary’s Church
10.50am – Act of Commemoration at the War Memorial on the Common
Meet at 10.40am at the Cricket Pavilion for a procession to the War Memorial on the Common, where the annual Act of Commemoration and laying of wreaths will begin at 10.50am.
After the service, refreshments will be offered by ChristChurch Redbourn – outside if weather permitting, or inside if wet.
We are delighted that Symphonia Academica’s ‘Pop Up Classics’ series will return to St Mary’s on Sunday 19th November at 3.00pm with a one hour performance.
Their programme for this concert will be Mozart’s Divertimento in D K136 and his Clarinet Quintet together with the Phantasy Quintet for bass clarinet and string quartet by York Bowen.
The concert will be in the chancel of this beautiful medieval church using comfortable seating-but will be limited to 50.
