I am incredibly proud of our amazing musicians.The music here is lovely even on a wet Wednesday in January(5.30pm daily…come!) but sometimes it goes*way* beyond that to a different place and we glimpse Eternal Glory. Yesterday’s BBC evensong was spectacular but the hard work and commitment was too!

Have discovered a great band this weekend and it's very timely. The Porter's Gate sing fantastic modern gospel songs, many of them based on Psalms and passages of scripture. Just listening to them instead of political podcasts is feeling so cleansing.

A new transfiguration hymn
I enjoy hymn writing, and often find the most useful tactic is to write words which can be sung to a well-known melody. The following hymn w...

I'm so very sad about this. Clive was such an amazing person, and he helped me enormously at a most awful time in my life. We're all so much poorer without him. "Well done good and faithful servant". You deserve the joy and wonder of heaven but we'll miss you terribly.

Been thinking a lot about light lately.Y’day a half remembered phrase from an alt worship service sprang to mind “The light that makes your lies water”. It feels like God is shining a bright light -the light hurts as hidden crimes and heartbreak is revealed but I believe/pray healing can now begin.

A really special afternoon yesterday; cycling along the creek and beginning Christian Unity Week by singing Evensong with Truro Chamber choir in Penpoll Methodist church. ✝️

We know we're only just in Advent, but we'd like to let you know about our Holy Week retreat.

I'd forgotten about my Epiphany ✝️ hymn but I found it when looking for some intercessions. But late for this year but very early for 2026! Feel free to just use the lyrics. soundclick.com/r/s52ya8

@trurocathedral.bsky.social A privilege and an honour.
What a wonderful night last night at Truro Cathedral for Carols with Pride.

To paraphrase the Dean's beautiful welcome: Cathedrals belong to everyone.

It was beautiful to see that so clearly last night.

If you sang all your favourite Advent hymns on Sunday #CofE and are now wondering what to sing for the rest of the month, how about a newly written hymn to the tune of "Once in Royal". Feel free to use/print/stream etc in worship. suewallace.blogspot.com/2024/10/a-ne...

A little heartwarming story: my mum has severe dementia. Since the spring she hasn't even been able to focus on me when entering a room, but on Mon I went in and got a cheery "oh hello!" and a hand stretched out. She's relaxed and happy in her own little world.

Hi everyone! I'm now here. It feels like one of those parties where you have the next course at someone else's house. (Safari supper?) I've not done one of those since I was a student but they were fun.
