Services and Music List

January and February 2015

WELCOME At Wells Cathedral we ensure that the Christmas season continues throughout January to its end on 2 February. Wells Cathedral Voluntary Choir helps to continue the song of the angels between Christmas and the Feast of the Epiphany. The Cathedral Choir returns then to sing us through the Epiphany season, including an Epiphany Carol Service on 10 January. The Choir assists us in grasping heaven’s heel in our worship, in bringing the ‘Great God heaven’ down to the earth he came to save. We hope very much that you will join your praises with ours whenever 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.
