All Souls Choral Service: Tuesday 3rd Nov, 8.00pm

We will be marking the feast of All Souls with a contemplative choral service on the evening of Tuesday 3rd November. The service blends together readings, poetry and silence with beautiful choral music, including works by Bainton, Harris, Wesley and Joubert. 

To keep everyone as safe as possible, the service will be streamed live from church, and only available online via YouTube. We regret it will not be possible to allow congregation to attend the service in person at the church. 

The service will be available online at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqNvhZWJetI, and you are encouraged to join us from your homes, and to have a candle with you which you can light alongside the choir and officiant in the church, in commemoration of the departed.

The service begins at 8.00pm, and will last about an hour. We look forward to you joining us online.

Stations of the Resurrection at St Clement's

We're pleased to share our "Stations of the Resurrection" this Eastertide at St Clement's. This is a companion to our Stations of the Cross which we released during Holy Week, and features a meditative reading of twelve 'Stations' telling of Jesus's resurrection, ascension, and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

The sequence incorporates scripture, alongside poetry by Malcolm Guite, read by parishioners of St Clement's Church, Cambridge. The readings are accompanied by images of both the modern world, and depictions of Jesus's actions after the resurrection. The sequence finishes with a recording of The Choir of St Clement's singing Thomas Morley's "I am the resurrection and the life", sung at St Clement's in November 2019.

Stations of the Cross at St Clement's

For this year's Good Friday, we have prepared a meditative reading of Malcom Guite's sonnet sequence, "Stations".

We hope these are helpful in your own private prayers and reflections this Triduum.

Please do join us this afternoon at 2.00pm for our reflective service "An hour by the Cross". We will be hosting this on Zoom at: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6200111351
