1 St John s College Chapel Services Lent Term 2008 Not to be taken away

2 St John s College Chapel Since the early thirteenth century the site of St John's College, first as a Hospital for the poor and infirm, complete with Chapel, and then as the College, has had a place of Christian worship. Our long tradition of worship is continued with regular services enriched by the College s outstanding choral tradition. Members of the public are welcome at all Choral Services. These are printed in BOLD TYPE in this list. Surplices are provided in the Chapel, and are worn by members of the College on Sundays, at Evensong on Saturdays, and on other days marked in this list with the letter S. Evensong The service of Evensong can be followed on the white cards in the stalls. The words of the psalm appointed for the day will be found in the red prayer book and the words of the hymn in the green hymn book. In accordance with the spirit of the Book of Common Prayer (a portion of) the Morning Psalms are sung during the first half of term, and (a portion of) the Evening Psalms during the second half. This term our Old Testament lessons follow the story of the Israelites in Egypt and the working of God's providence through Joseph and Moses, in which Christians find a foreshadowing of Jesus' death and resurrection at Easter. Our New Testament lessons come from the Epistles, letters to the Church in Rome, Philippi and Ephesus, urging Christians to live by grace in the light of Christ's resurrection. Sung Eucharist The service can be followed in the red Sung Eucharist booklets. The Epistle and Gospel reading will be found on the separate white sheet. Which can be found on a table at the entrance to the Chapel. Hymns are found in the green hymn book in the stalls. All those who are communicant members of their own church are most welcome to receive communion. Listen online Selected services are webcast and you can listen online at Discovering God A series of sermons at Sunday evensong focused on glimpsing the divine within everyday activities. Further details may be found at: All hymn numbers refer to The New English Hymnal unless otherwise stated
