After worship this morning, I’d invite you to watch these clips. The first is a bit of an investment – the Polish composer Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3 is supposedly inspired in part by Lamentations. And the second is something a little more uplifting for Ascension Sunday… the hymn “Crown Him With Many Crowns” from an interesting venue!
on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation
