November 2018

WELCOME

November begins with the piercing of darkening days by the great Feast of All Saints, sung for us

this year by the Cathedral’s Voluntary Choir. Remembrance, and especially this year on the 100th

anniversary of the end of the First World War, looms large with Somerset Remembers on 6

November; the Cathedral’s Act of Remembrance within the Eucharist on Sunday 11 November

as well as a devotional performance of John Rutter’s Requiem in the afternoon. The Opus dei, the

work of God in worship, goes on throughout this Kingdom season, adjuring us to see the signs

of God at work in the world.

We hope very much that you will join us when you can.

The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor

Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in

this church if they so desire.
