08.01.2022 This morning, St Paul’s held its first Eucharist since March, with music supplied by organ and a vocal quartet. Unfortunately, congregational singing is not permitted for the time being. It was a nonetheless a joy to be part of the community gathered around the Lord’s table in penitence, prayer and thanksgiving. The Choir remains in recess, but more of our musicians will have an opportunity to contribute music to similar Eucharists in the coming weeks. We are, of course, observing strict protocols and all musicians must complete safety training before they may sing. If you would like to worship with us at St Paul’s, please see the parish website for booking details: https://stpaulsmanuka.org.au/
