St Paul’s Church, Kinlochleven

Once known mainly for its position on the road between North Ballachulish, and Glencoe, before the Ballachulish Bridge by-passed it, Kinlochleven was the sun-lit setting and St Paul’s Episcopal Church the venue for our  afternoon Evensong service, on 10th April, lleading up to Easter, led by Rev Donald Davidson. We were  joined by some of the Community Choir and other folk, and Kerr Jamieson was at the keyboard. The small church was packed, and we were able to process into the Sanctuary where there was only-just enough room.

Music was:-

Mozart….Psalm 148 from Missa Brevis

Hymns:- Praise My Soul

                  At even, ere the sun was set

                  The day Thou gavest

Psalm 84:- O how amiable are Thy dwellings

Anthem:- ‘All in the April Evening’, Roberton/Tynan

Vesper:- ‘Go now in love, go now in peace’  Patrick Liebergen

Watch Songs of Praise next Sunday!

The High School of Glasgow Choir is now through to the final of the BBC Senior School Choir Competition. They were conducted by Frikki Walker, whom we know well at the Cathedral, in a perfect rendering of ‘Just as I am’.

The final is on BBC next Sunday, 10th April, and will be between Glasgow and two other schools….you can guess the one we will be cheering-on!

….but we will be elsewhere, returning from a little West Highland village where we were singing Evensong at the time, so will be desperate to hear the result!
