Willingdon, Wannock and Jevington

THE EASTER CONCERT: By the Downland Singers recently, made a departure from the usual Easter offerings. Instead of Olivet to Calvary or The Crucifixion, this year we had a selection of hymns and songs written by a variety of other composers. A journey through Holy Week in music and readings with the Downland Singers. We began with an organ prelude Christ, thou Lamb of God, played on the organ by Alastair Macfadyen. Followed by a welcome and prayer by our Minister Rev David Yule. Then the choir sang On the way to Jerusalem and rejoice the Lord is King. Then the congregation sang the hymn, Make way, make way for Christ the King. Then the choir sang I don't know how to love him and All in the April evening. A reading from Matthew 26: 17-30, was followed by another hymn My Song is Love Unknown followed by the choir singing The Holy City and Were You There When They Crucified My Lord. A reading by a choir member on Good Friday Meditation, '˜He was thinking of me, even then' thoughts of Mary the Mother of Jesus. Followed by Ave Verum and God so loved the World. After prayers we sang When I survey the wonderous cross. Finally a benediction and the choir with A Clare Benediction Postlude on the organ O World I Must Leave Thee. The choir left in silence. There was a retiring collection in aid of People Matter. Info on the Downland Singers can be found on http://downlandsingers.webplus.net
