At St Peter's tonight we mark Maundy Thursday, the occasion of the Last Supper when Jesus broke bread with his disciples and washed their feet. "A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (John 13).

Tonight at St Peter's at 8pm: Tenebrae (Latin for "darkness"). The choir sings plainsong. We think about the approaching darkness of Good Friday & extinguish candles - except one, which stays lit but is hidden away, symbolising Jesus as "the one true light", hidden by the shadows of the tomb.

Last Saturday, St Peter's Church Choir sang a service of #choralevensong at Southwark Cathedral in London. It's such a wonderful privilege for parish choirs to visit cathedrals and join in worship, and it provides our young choristers with a fantastic experience.
