28 February 2021 at 10am: Cathedral Eucharist Online
The Second Sunday of Lent

The President of the Eucharist is The Very Revd Nicola Sullivan, Dean of Southwell.
The Preacher is The Revd James Halstead, Principal of the Diocesan School of Discipleship.
The Lay Clerks of the Cathedral Choir are directed by Paul Provost, Rector Chori, and Jonathan Allsopp, Assistant Director of Music.
The organ is played by the Assistant Director of Music and James Furniss-Roe, Organ Scholar.

The setting for the Eucharist is Missa brevis by Guy Turner (b. 1955).

Please do join in at home as you are comfortably able: you may wish to stand, sit and kneel as you normally would in church (we have included instructions for posture in the order of service for this reason), and/or to speak and sing along with the congregational elements of the service.

A video of the Service will appear below at 10am on Sunday morning. You do not need to sign in to watch it. Please refresh your browser by pressing F5 if the video doesn't play.

You can also watch this service on the Southwell Minster Youtube channel: VIEW HERE

Choristers and Lay Clerks sing Passiontide Hymns

To help our spiritual preparations during Passiontide, the two weeks prior to celebrating the great feast of Easter, and as we are unable to physically come together to sing as one, our wonderful choristers and lay clerks will be recording verses of some of the most well-known Passiontide hymns which we will be uploading regularly and can be found in the tabs below. We hope you enjoy and make sure to keep checking back to see the latest video!

O sacred head, sore wounded verse 1

O sacred head, sore wounded verse 4

My song is love unknown verse 1

Overview

Whilst the Minster is closed, Junior Church will become Virtual Junior Church, allowing children and families to come together to take part in themed activities that we would have otherwise done together on a Sunday morning. You can find the activity sheets in the tabs below

What is it?

Stilling Prayer (or ‘Christian Meditation’) is held each Monday in term time at 7.30pm. For the time being we will be moving on-line and observing it collectively in our homes on Mondays 7.30 – 8.00 pm. The leader for each evening will supply us with a short thought or quote to help lead us into silence, in much the same way as when we meet. If you would like to join this on-line group please e-mail the group’s coordinator Stephen Ibbotson who can be contacted on ibbotson51@gmail.com
