Online Worship

This page has the online worship offering of St Mary’s Cathedral for 29 March 2020

The worship can be found in several videos – three that form a service and some more for for members of the Young Church and their families. All members of the church may enjoy the Young Church material, which this week includes a fabulous Animation about Ezekiel and the Dry Bones, Activities to try and some Choristers’ Singing Games to keep everyone on their toes.

The service is led by the Provost, the Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth. Other voices come from members of the congregation, some of whom are self-isolating at home. The preacher is the Vice Provost, the Rev Canon Oliver Brewer-Lennon. As access to the cathedral building restricted, this week’s worship takes the form of a house eucharist hosted by the Provost from his own home.

A pdf transcript of the service can also be downloaded:
